The 2016 America East Conference Baseball Tournament will be held from May 25–28. The top six regular-season finishers of the league's seven teams will meet in the double-elimination tournament to be held at Edward A. LeLacheur Park in Lowell, Massachusetts, the home park of UMass Lowell.[2][3]
Seeding and format
The top six finishers from the regular season will be seeded one through six based on conference winning percentage only. The No. 1 and No. 2 seeds will get a first-round bye. The teams will play a double-elimination tournament.[4] UMass Lowell, despite hosting the event, is not eligible to participate as it transitions from Division II. The River Hawks are expected to complete this transition and be eligible for championships in the 2017–18 academic year.[5][6]
