The region's top eight teams will be paired off into two double-elimination tournaments, hosted by the one and two seeds on May 9-11. The winners of two sub-brackets will advance to face off in a best-of-three Super Regional May 16-17 to determine the Midwest's representative at the 2019 NCAA Softball Championships, held in Denver on May 23-27.
