The double elimination tournament featured four teams from each division. Mississippi Valley State, from the East Division was ineligible for the postseason due to Academic Progress Rate penalties. Southern, from the West Division, was originally ineligible for postseason play in all sports, including baseball, due to failing to supply usable data to the NCAA.[3][4] However, the Jaguars were able to compete in the tournament in place of Arkansas–Pine Bluff.

Seeding and format

The four eligible teams in each division will be seeded one through four, with the top seed from each division facing the fourth seed from the opposite division in the first round, and so on. The teams then play a two bracket, double-elimination tournament with a one-game final between the winners of each bracket.
