Seeds
All seven teams are eligible for the postseason, with the #1 seed receiving a bye to the semifinals. Teams are seeded by record within the conference, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records. The #1 seed will play the lowest remaining seed in the semifinals.
Should a team be unable to play a match due to COVID-19, it will count as a loss in the conference standings, and it will be used to determine MPSF Tournament seeding.[2]
