*Ineligible for postseason play due to APR penalties

The 2015 Southwestern Athletic Conference Baseball Tournament will be held place at Wesley Barrow Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana from May 13 through May 17. The winner of the tournament will earn the conference's automatic bid to the 2015 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament.[2]

The double elimination tournament features four teams from each division. Mississippi Valley State, from the East Division is ineligible for the postseason due to Academic Progress Rate penalties, and Southern, from the West Division, is ineligible for postseason play in all sports, including baseball, due to failing to supply usable data to the NCAA.[3][4]

Seeding and format

The four eligible teams in each division will be seeded one through four, with the top seed from each division facing the fourth seed from the opposite division in the first round, and so on. The teams then play a two bracket, double-elimination tournament with a one-game final between the winners of each bracket.
