Since its foundation in 1993, the tournament has featured only the top 8 teams from the conference playing in a single-elimination style tournament. The first rounds are always played at the gym of the higher-seeded team while the semifinal and championship rounds are played at a pre-determined site, usually on the campus of one of the RMAC members.
