Format and seeding

The conference's seven teams will be seeded based on winning percentage during the round robin regular season schedule. The bottom two seeds will play a single-elimination game prior to the main six-team bracket. The top two seeds will receive a bye to the second round, with the top seed playing the lowest seeded team that won its first round game, and the second seeded team playing the higher seeded first day winner. The losers of the first day's games will play an elimination game in the double-elimination format.
