All first-round games are scheduled for Tuesday.

The top three highest power rated teams in each region automatically qualify for the playoffs in all classes. The next four highest power-rated teams, regardless of region, are selected at-large.

An at-large team finishing fifth or sixth in their region is moved to a new region. The at-large team will be seeded where their power points rank them within the region.

The first-place team in each region will play the fourth-place team and the second-place team will play the third-place team. The highest seeded team will host throughout the playoff.

An at-large team will not host a first-round game, but can host in subsequent rounds.
