The top six teams from the regular season participate in the double-elimination tournament to determine the league champion. Purdue won their first tournament championship and earned the Big Ten Conference's automatic bid to the 2012 NCAA Division I baseball tournament. This was also Purdue's second year ever winning a conference championship in baseball, having won the conference regular season in 1909.[2]
