Seeding

The top six Mountain West teams from regular season play qualified for the 2024 Tournament. Teams were seeded based on their regular season records. Tiebreakers were used to determine seeds if teams were tied on regular season record. [7] A tiebreaker was required to determine the second and third seed, which determined the team that earned the second bye in the tournament. Colorado State and Utah State both finished the conference regular season with 7–1–3 records and on 24 points. The two teams tied their October 13 match-up 1–1. The second tiebreaker was goal difference in conference matches. Colorado state finished with a +11 goal difference and Utah State finished with a +20 goal difference. Therefore Utah State earned the second seed and a bye into the semifinals. Another tiebreaker was needed to determine the sixth and final team to qualify for the tournament as Colorado College and Nevada both finished with 4–5–2 records and on 14 points. Nevada earned the sixth and final spot in the tournament by virtue of their 5–0 win over Colorado College on October 6. [8]
