== Tournament Structure ==
This will be a single-elimination tournament consisting of 16 teams. Each team will be given a random number from 1-16, which will correspond to their "seed." All games will be played at the home venue of the higher seed, except for the semifinals and championship game. The tournament was originally planned to have 32 teams, however it was decided that the tournament should have 16 teams since it is the tournament's debut.
