The tournament plays out on a neutral site with seeds No. 1 and No. 2 earning a preferred first-round bye by playing a lower seed, then getting a day off, while seeds No. 3-6 also get a bye.

Eastern Washington won the regular season outright with a 16-2 record, followed by Montana State (15-3) and Weber State (12-6) making up the top three.
