Sites

The first round was played at campus sites at the home of the higher seed. The quarterfinals and semifinals were played at the home of regular-season champion and No. 1 seed. The championship game was held at the home of the highest remaining seed after the semifinals.

Seeds

All 11 conference teams are eligible for the tournament. The top five teams receive a first-round bye. Teams are seeded by record within the conference, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records.

The tiebreakers operate in the following order:

  1. Head-to-head record.
  2. Record against the top-ranked conference team not involved in the tie, going down the standings until the tie is broken. For this purpose, teams with the same conference record are considered collectively. If two teams were unbeaten or winless against an opponent but did not play the same number of games against that opponent, the tie is not considered broken.
