An additional opening round game, featuring the fourth and fifth best teams, was played only in 2006 and 2012.
In most years, the tournament was held in a gymnasium on the campus of one of the Heartland Conference member schools.
The only exceptions were the 2007 and 2008 tournaments, played in the home arena of North Texas from Division I.
