Format and seeding edit

The Big East baseball tournament was a 6 team double elimination tournament in 1996. The top three regular season finishers in each division were seeded one through three based on conference winning percentage only. West Virginia claimed the top seed from the American Division by winning the season series over Providence. The top team in each division played the third seed from the opposite division and the second seeds played each other in the first round. This was the first season of divisional play, resulting from the addition of Notre Dame, Rutgers and West Virginia to the league beginning with the 1996 season.[3]
