The champion of the conference tournament will receive the SAA Automatic Qualifier into the NCAA Tournament. 

The SAA softball tournament format will be a six-team double-elimination tournament.  

All games MUST be played before the automatic qualification deadline on Sunday, in adherence with the NCAA’s protocols. 

Determination of Seeding – Teams will be seeded based on the final conference standings. If a tie exists in the standings, the following steps will be applied to break the tie: 

  1. Record based on in-conference winning percentage.  

  2. Head-to-head record during conference play.  

  3. Record vs other teams in the conference starting at the top of the final standings and working down through until the tie is broken.  

  4. Run differential (eight-run maximum) in conference games between tied teams.  

  5. Home record vs conference opponents 

  6. If none of the preceding tiebreakers can break a tie, the final NCAA NPI Rankings for Division III Softball will be used to break any remaining ties.
