Seeding
The Tournament consisted of a 10 team single-elimination tournament with the top 6 seeds receiving a bye.[1] Teams were seeded by record within the conference, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records. These are the tiebreakers (5-8 involve both ties with two teams and ties with multiple teams):
- If two teams have an identical conference record, then the team with the better head-to-head record gets the higher seed
- If a tie can't be broken by the tiebreaker above, then the team with the better record against the 1 seed gets the higher seed
- If those records are the same, then the team with the better road record against the top seed gets the higher seed
- If multiple teams are tied, and you can't use the 1st tiebreaker, then the team with the better head to head record against the other tied teams gets the higher seed.
- If tiebreaker number 4 can't break the tie between multiple teams, then the team with the better record against the 1 seed gets the higher seed
- If those records are the same, the team with the better road record gets the higher seed
- If those records are the same, the team with the better road record against the top seed gets the higher seed
- If those records are the same, a public draw will be held to determine the top seed
