The pre-sited rotation includes all members that have a facility acceptable to a majority of the sport's head coaches.

If the championship is designated to be hosted by the highest regular-season seed, and if the highest seed cannot or chooses not to host the championship, the option to host moves in descending order to the second highest regular-season seed, etc.

All participating team members must abide by eligibility rules as established in the sport's NCAA Championship Handbook and the Patriot League Policy and Procedures Manual.
Pre-Tournament Meeting
The host institution must arrange for a time and place to conduct the pre-tournament meeting between the coaches, sports information personnel, trainers, facilities personnel, Tournament Manager, League representative and other institutional staff members involved in the hosting of the championship. The pre-tournament meeting will be used to discuss tournament logistics such as the schedule of events, practice times, presentation of awards, etc.
