The two division winners plus the next two top teams by the RPI will be placed in Pool A, while the next four teams by RPI will be placed in Pool B. Each pool will play a round-robin schedule, with the top three teams from Pool A and the Pool B winner advancing to the single-elimination semifinals, with the semifinal winners meeting for the championship. The Pool A winner will play the Pool B winner in one semifinal and the Pool A runner-up will play the Pool A third place in the other semifinal.[3]
