The seeds for the tournament shall be determined based on each team’s regular-season conference finish. In the event of a tie for a particular seed, the seed will be determined as follows:
TWO TEAMS
(1) - If one team has defeated the other team a greater number of times, that team shall be awarded the higher-seeded position.
(2) - If the tied teams split games, the higher position will be awarded to the team that has the best won-loss record against the highest-seeded team not involved in the tie.
(3) - If each team has the same record against the highest seeded team not involved in the tie, then the won-loss records against the next highest seeded team not involved in the tie would be considered and so on down the line until the tie is broken.
(4) - If the records are the same against all teams, then the seeded position would be determined by a toss of the coin by the Sun Belt Conference Commissioner.
THREE TEAMS
(1) - In the event of a three-way tie, the won-loss record of the tied teams against each other is first considered.
(2) - If the teams are still tied, the team’s records against the next highest-seeded team after the three-way tie is considered and so forth until the tie is broken.
(3) - If there is still a tie, the seeded position of the teams will be determined by a draw conducted by the Sun Belt Conference Commissioner.
For multiple ties larger than a three-way tie, the same procedure will be applied as used to break a three-way tie; and for all multiple ties, the tie is broken by first deciding the highest-seeded team involved in the tie before deciding other seeding positions.
