Format and seeding

The 2024 tournament was a double-elimination tournament among the top eight Big Ten Conference baseball teams with the best regular season winning percentage. These eight teams received tournament seeds, numbered one through eight, according to the team's final placement in the regular season standings. In terms of tournament games played per day, the tournament used a 3-2-3-2-4-1 format, with competition beginning one day earlier than in past years to allow for flexibility in case having to suspend play due to inclement weather.^[3]
