https://www.southland.org/sports/2018/5/6/BASE_0506180958.aspx2.03.04 Tournament Format.
The tournament shall be conducted in a double-elimination format on the Wednesday through Saturday of the weekend prior to the date of NCAA tournament selection. Two bracket winners will meet in a single-elimination championship game, regardless if one or both of the championship teams have a loss or are undefeated. If necessary, the tournament shall include an additional “rain day” for use the day after the championship is scheduled to conclude.
2.03.04.01 Inclement Weather Provision.
The Conference commissioner or his/her designee, in consultation with the participating team’s athletic directors, shall be authorized to make decisions on the remaining tournament schedule in the case of inclement weather. Should one complete day of the tournament be postponed due to inclement weather, the entire tournament schedule shall shift one day later to accommodate the double-elimination format. Should two complete days of the tournament be postponed due to inclement weather, the tournament shall revert to a single-elimination format at the moment of the postponement. Should three days or more complete days of the tournament be postponed, the event shall be cancelled, and the Conference’s regular-season champion shall be awarded the NCAA automatic bid. Should the daily schedules be partially completed, the Conference commissioner or his/her designee, in consultation with the participating team’s athletic directors, shall be authorized with the flexibility to consider schedule changes in the sole effort to complete the event.

2.04.05 Tournament Seeding.
Seeding, 1 through 8, shall be based upon regular-season winning
percentage in Conference competition. A standard head-to-head tiebreaker shall be used.
Ties shall be broken based upon the following tie-breaker system. [1/13]
2.04.05.01 Two-Way Ties.
In the case of a two-way tie in the final standings, position in the tournament bracket shall be determined as follows:
(a) If two teams tie for a position, and one (1) team holds a won-loss game advantage in the series against the other, that team receives the higher seed.
(b) If the two (2) tied teams split their games during the regular season, or if they did not play one another, then the tied teams’ won-loss record against the next highest-positioned team(s) that played both tied teams in a series shall be compared. This shall continue down through the standings until one (1) team gains the advantage, thereby gaining the higher seed.
(c) If the teams are still tied, a drawing shall be held by the commissioner.
2.04.05.02 Ties Between Three (3) or More Teams.
In the case of a tie between three (3) or more teams in the final standings, position in the tournament bracket shall be determined as follows:
(a) If three or more teams tie for a position, and all tied teams have played one another, the team that holds a won-loss advantage in the games played against the other tied teams shall receive the higher seed.
(b) If the three or more tied teams split their games during the regular season, or if they did not play one another, then the tied teams’ win/loss games record against the next highest-positioned team(s) that played all tied teams in a series shall be compared. This shall continue down through the standings until one (1) team gains the advantage, thereby gaining the higher seed.
(c) If at any time during this tie-breaking procedure, the number of tied teams is reduced to two, the two-way tie-breaker listed in 2.04.05.01 shall apply; and
(d) If the teams are still tied, a drawing shall be held by the commissioner.
