The double elimination tournament features the top four teams from each division, leaving Mississippi Valley State and Grambling State out of the field.
The top four finishers in each division were seeded one through four, with the top seed from each division facing the fourth seed from the opposite division in the first round, and so on. The teams then played a two bracket, double-elimination tournament with a one-game final between the winners of each bracket. Prairie View A&M claimed the third seed from the West over Texas Southern by tiebreaker.
