Format changes

Previously, the MAAC Tournament had six teams with the higher seeds hosting the matches. The 2020 season will see the tournament reduced to four teams, with the regular season champion hosting all matches. This was in part done due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The MAAC indicated that the dates are to be flexible and subject to change if the tournament is to be played at an earlier or later date. [1]
