Seeding

In a change from previous years, the top ten teams (based on conference results) from the conference earn invites to the tournament. The teams will be seeded based on conference winning percentage, with the bottom four seeds competing in a play-in round. The remaining eight teams will then play a two bracket, double-elimination tournament. The winner of each bracket will play a championship final.^[3]
