Format
The league pairs the teams into two groups of three based on their finish during the regular season. The teams play a round robin within their group. The first place team from one group plays the second place team in the other group in the semifinals. The semifinal winners meet for the league championship. The league still uses the Fair Play Point in the round robin portion of the tournament. An asterisk (*) next to a score indicates the team received their Fair Play Point for the game
