New Format

Format

The MAC announced a new format beginning with the 2012 Women's Basketball Tournament. With the new format, the No. 1 and 2 seeds will earn byes straight to the semifinals, with the No. 3 and 4 seeds beginning tournament play in the quarterfinals. Teams seeded 5-12 will have to play an additional two rounds, beginning with campus-site games. The MAC will also no longer automatically reward a top 2 seed to the division winners. teams will be seeded based on conference record, regardless of their place in their divisionthough no division champion will be seeded lower than fourth.[1]

Previous Format

Each of the 12 women's basketball teams in the MAC receive a berth in the conference tournament. Teams are seeded per division by conference record with the following tie-breakers:[2]

  • Two-team tie:
  1. Head-to-head competition
  2. Division record (ten games)
  3. Record vs. #1 team in division proceeding through the #6 team, if necessary
  4. Non-division record (six games)
  5. Record vs. #1 team in the opposite division proceeding through the #6 team, if necessary
  6. Coin flip by the Commissioner
  • Three-team tie:
  1. Total wonlost record of games played among the tied teams
  2. Division record (ten games)
  3. Record vs. #1 team in division proceeding through the #6 team, if necessary
  4. Non-division record (six games)
  5. Record vs. #1 team in the opposite division proceeding through the #6 team, if necessary
  6. Coin flip by the Commissioner

Note: Once a three-team tie has been reduced to two teams, the two-team tiebreakers go in effect. If there are multiple ties, the ties are broken from the top down (e.g. a tie for #3 will be broken before a tie for #5).

The top two seeds in each division receive byes into the Quarterfinals.
