The tournament featured four rounds of play. The two teams that finish below tenth place in the standings are not eligible for tournament play. Each round was a single-elimination series. In the preliminary round, the seventh and tenth seeds and the eighth and ninth seeds each play to determine the final qualifying teams for the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals the first seed and lower ranked qualifier, the second and higher ranked qualifier, the third seed and sixth seed and the fourth seed and fifth seed played. In the semifinals, the highest remaining seed plays the lowest remaining seed while the two other teams play with the winners advancing to the championship game.
