All teams will play a total of 5 games (3 Round Robin and 2 playoff games).

- Teams play 3 Round Robin games.
Round Robin games only have 4v4 OT (time permitting), no shootout.
- Teams are ranked by points (2 pt win, 0 pt loss, 1 pt tie or OTL).
- The 1st ranked team faces the 4th ranked team, and the 2nd plays the 3rd.
- Winners advance to the 1st Place Final; losers play for 3rd Place.
** If a game ends in a tie during the semi-final or final rounds, there will be a 4v4 sudden-death overtime (time permitting, changes on the fly only), followed by a 3-player shootout (teams may repeat shooters once all have gone).
