History of the Tournament
Each year, the round robin-style tournament declares a tournament champion based off four criteria.
1) Winning percentage (min. 3 games)
2) If two teams tie in winning percentage then head-to-head between both teams
3) If multiple teams tie in winning percentage, then run differential
4) If two teams tie in winning percentage and don’t play head-to-head, then run differential
The champion of each tournament is in bold and the team’s preseason ranking* is in parenthesis.
