Since its inception in 1973, the tournament has been held every year except twice, with Clemson securing ten championships prior to this, the most in the tournament's history. Georgia Tech has won nine championships, and Florida State has won eight titles since it entered the league in 1992, matching defending champion North Carolina's total. Recent entrants, including Virginia Tech, Boston College, Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, and Louisville, have never won the event.

Format and seeding

The winner of each seven team division and the top ten other teams based on conference winning percentage, regardless of division, from the conference's regular season will be seeded one through twelve. Seeds one and two are awarded to the two division winners. Teams are then divided into four pools of three teams each, with the winners advancing to single elimination bracket for the championship.[6][7]

If a 1–1 tie were to occur among all three teams in a pool, the highest seeded team would have advanced to the semifinals.[8] Because of this, seeds 5–12 must win both pool play games to advance to the single-elimination bracket, and seeds 1–4 must only win the game against the winner of the game between the other two teams in the pool to advance. For example, if the 12 seed beats the 8 seed in the first game, then the winner of the 12 seed versus 1 seed advances, and the 8 seed versus 1 seed game has no effect on which team advances.
