Format and seeding

The Big East baseball tournament was a 4 team double elimination tournament in 1990. For the first time, the conference played as a single division, so the top four teams were seeded one through four based on conference winning percentage only. In previous seasons, the top two teams in each division squared off in the field.[3]
