Seeding
1.  Final regular-season conference standings will be used to seed the six-team tournament.
2.  Ties will be broken for seeding purposes as follows:
     a.    Head-to-head competition involving games played between all tied teams
     b.    Fewest losses against conference schools (disregard ties)
     c.    Goal differential (capped at 10 per game)*
     d.    Fewest goals allowed*
     e.    Most goals scored (capped at 10 per game)*
     f.     Coin toss in conference office
     * based on all conference games played.
 
[Note: If two or more teams remain tied after one or more teams are eliminated in any step, the tiebreaker reverts to #3a. If during any step, all teams have a clear rank order, they are placed in that order accordingly.

Example A - If three teams are tied with 1-1 head-to-head records, then continue down tiebreaker list.
 
Example B - If teams have 2-0, 1-1 and 1-1 head-to-head records, the 2-0 team receives the highest seed. Since two teams remain tied at 1-1, revert back to criteria #2a between the 1-1 teams.
 
Example C - If teams have 2-0, 1-1, 0-2 records head-to-head, the 2-0 team receives the highest seed, the 1-1 team the next seed and the 0-2 team the lowest seed.]
