The tournament is being held in Irvine, CA for the second year in a row, hosted by Chapman University. 16 Division 1 teams and 16 Division 2 teams will be selected to compete in two different brackets of the tournament based upon their performance during the regular season, and for some, by means of a conference tournament automatic qualifier.[1]
