History
The Men's Classic was first held in 1995. Since its inception, it has featured four teams in a double header played in a neutral stadium.
The Women's Classic began in 2002, also featuring four teams in a double header. In 2005, the Women's Classic shrunk to two teams playing a single game. In 2021, the Women's Classic expanded back to the original format. In 2023, a triple-header, with six teams competing, will be played. Unlike the Men's Classic, each game of the Women's Classic is played at one of the competitor's home arenas.
