Pool Play

Pool Play is divided into 3 divisions, with the 5 highest ranked teams in the Blue division and the others being split into the Red and Green divisions. The top two teams in the Blue division will go on to the Semi-finals, the third and fourth teams will be placed in the Play-in Games and the fifth team will be placed in the positional games. After pool play, all teams in the Red and Green divisions will be ranked and then play games to decide whether they are in the Play-in games or in the Positional games. Only 2 of the teams from the Red and Green divisions will be in the Play-in games, while all others will be in the Positional games.
