The conference champion will be determined by the winner of the postseason tournament and the champion receives an automatic bid to the NCAA championship.

If a tie occurs in the final standings, the following tie-breaker system will be used to determine the participants in the conference tournament:

Two Team Tie: The winner of the regular season, in-conference head-to-head will gain the higher seed. If teams tied or the game was not completed, the following criteria are applied:

  • The team with the most SAA Points earned against succeeding teams in the final standings earns the higher seed.
  • The team with the highest goal differential in SAA play (with a cap of three goals per game) earns the higher seed.
  • The team with the fewest goals allowed in SAA play earns the higher seed.
  • The team with the most goals scored in SAA play (cap on three goals a game) earns the higher seed.
  • The team with the most SAA Points earned in away games (applied only if teams play an equal number of away games earns the higher seed).
  • If two teams remain tied, the visiting team in the head-to-head draw earns the higher seed.
  • If any tie cannot be broken for any reason, the final NCAA Division III NPI rankings will be used to break any remaining ties. 
Three (or more) team Tie: Highest head-to-head win-loss percentage of the tied teams against each other is first considered. The team with the best win-loss percentage is ranked first, followed by the team with the next best win-loss percentage and continuing unless there is a tie in the group. If two teams remain, revert to “two-teams” tiebreaking procedure. If three or more teams remain tied, the following criteria listed above is applied in order until a tie is broken; Note, once a seed is determined after a criteria is applied, the procedure restarts with remaining teams until all seeds are determined.
