Seeding

In a change from previous years, the top eight teams (based on conference results) from the conference earned invites to the tournament. The teams were seeded based on conference winning percentage, with the bottom four seeds competing in a play-in round. The remaining four teams then played a two bracket, double-elimination tournament. The winner of each bracket played each other in the championship final.
