FORMAT
6-team, single-elimination
The bracket sets after the regular season concludes. Pool play and seedings are based on conference standings; tiebreakers vary by league.
NCAA tournament implications
Despite realignment, the Pac-12 footprint still produces multi-bid softball every year — UCLA, Stanford, and ASU regularly host or travel to regionals.
The tournament champion automatically earns one of 31 conference auto-bids to the NCAA Tournament. The remaining 33 spots are at-large selections — strong tournament runs by lower-seeded teams can flip their bubble status from out to in.
