The winner of each Marquette Invitational match will be awarded three points in the tournament standings, and both teams will receive one point in ties. Once all matches have been played, a champion will be determined based on total points. If there is a tie atop the standings, the tiebreaker is head-to-head result, but if two teams have not played each other, co-champions will be crowned.
