This tournament will feature 9 out of 11 teams in this conference (Colorado does not field a baseball team) . Matchups composed of three teams in each pool, with each team playing two games in pool play, with the three pool winners & one wild card team advancing to the single elimination finals. The winning percentage of the teams in conference play determined the tournament seedings. There are tiebreakers in place to seed teams with identical conference records.

The Number 1, 6 & 9 seeds will be placed in pool A. The Number 2, 5 & 8 seeds will be placed in pool B. The Number 3, 4 & 7 seeds will be placed in pool C. The three pools will play a round-robin style tournament with the winners advancing to the Friday single-elimination semifinals along with one Wild Card team.
