The Big South Conference Women's Basketball Tournament is the conference championship tournament in women's basketball for the Big South Conference. It is a single-elimination tournament involving all of the 10 league schools, and seeding is based on regular-season records with head-to-head match-up as a tie-breaker. The winner receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA women's basketball tournament.
In the first round, the #7 seed faces off against the #10 and the #8 faces off against the #9. The #1 and #2 seeds play the winner of those games in the Quarterfinals, while the #3 seed faces off against the #6 seed and the #4 seed faces off against the #5 seed.
The tournament has been held since 1986. [1]
