- TranSouth regular season runner-up
- TranSouth conference tournament champion or highest finishing team other than the regular season champion or runner-up.
- The Mid-South regular season champion
- The Mid-South tournament champion. If the regular season and tournament champions are the same team the tournament runner-up will receive the automatic berth.
- If a tie exists between two or more conference teams for the regular season championship it shall be the responsibility of that conference to determine the champion.
- The remaining at-large berth will be awarded to the highest ranked team(s) in the region based on the last regional rankings prior to the region tournament.
To be eligible for one of these spots teams must have completed all reporting to the region chair by 2:00 p.m. Sunday, May 4, 2008. Any team not completing their required duties by that date will be deemed ineligible to receive an at-large berth. The Region XI Baseball sports chair (Beauford Sanders, Campbellsville University) will be responsible for checking accuracy.
The six teams will be seeded based on the last regional ranking prior to the tournament he highest ranked team will receive the #1 seed and so on through the #6 seed. If a non-ranked team qualifies for the region tournament they would take the lowest remaining seed.
