Format history

The format of the Collegiate Conference didn't have any major changes; only using two formats across both the women's and men's divisions. In 2017, the women's division divided the teams into two separate pools. The teams will then play a single

, playing all other teams once. The top two teams in each pool advanced to the final round, where they begin at the crossover semifinals with the first-seeded team being matched against the second-seed from the other group. The men's division didn't have the teams separated into pools and instead played in a single round-robin against each other, with the top four advancing to the final round. In the semifinals, first-seed played against the fourth-seed while the second-seed played against the third-seed. In 2018, the both divisions used a single pool similar to the 2017 men's format. In 2019, the women's division reverted back to the two-pool format.
