The ACC Men's Basketball Tournament (popularly known as the ACC Tournament) is the conference championship tournament in basketball for the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). The tournament has been held every year since 1954, the ACC's first season. It is a single-elimination tournament and seeding is based on regular season records. The winner, declared conference champion, receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
Since July 1, 1961, the ACC's bylaws have included the phrase "and the winner shall be the conference champion" in referring to the tournament. The ACC recognizes and awards trophies for the Regular Season Champion.
† The current venue known as "Bojangles' Coliseum" was originally known as "Charlotte Coliseum." A new arena that opened in 1988 assumed the name Charlotte Coliseum at that time.
