The tournament bracket has included as few as seven teams and as many as fifteen. The most common format has featured eight teams competing at the same predesignated neutral site as the GLVC men's basketball tournament. In 1998, 2008, 2009, and 2021, the quarterfinals were played on campus sites and the final four was held on the home court of the highest seed surviving the quarterfinals.
The tournament winner is conference champion and receives the GLVC's automatic bid to the NCAA Division II women's basketball tournament.
Drury has won the most tournaments, with ten, including the last seven in a row.
