Rankings from NFCA/USA Today

The 2024 Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) softball tournament was held at Duke Softball Stadium on the campus of the Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, from May 8 through May 11, 2024.[2] The event determines the champion of the Atlantic Coast Conference for the 2024 season. As the tournament winner, Duke earned the conference's automatic bid to the 2024 NCAA Division I softball tournament.[3]

This was the sixth year of a 10-team tournament. The 1st round, quarterfinals and semifinals will be broadcast on the ACC Network. The championship game will be broadcast by ESPN2.

Format and seeding

[edit]

The top 10 finishers of the ACC's 13 softball-playing members were seeded based on conference results from the regular season. The bottom four seeds will play in an opening round to determine the quarterfinal matchups. Clemson and Virginia finished tied with 15–9 regular season records. Virginia earned the fourth seed by virtue of winning the two team's regular season series 2–1. Boston College, Notre Dame, and Syracuse finished in a three way tie with 9–15 records. Syracuse was the eighth-seed, Boston College was the ninth-seed, and Notre Dame was the tenth-seed after the tiebreaker procedure.[4][5]
