The first round of the tournament was hosted at the #1 and #2 seed's home stadium. Then the remaining rounds of the tournament were hosted by the higher seed. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The Florida Gulf Coast Eagles were the defending tournament champions. However, they were unable to defend their crown, as they lost to the Lipscomb Bisons in the semifinals.[1] Lipscomb went on to win the tournament, beating North Alabama in the final.[2]
