Finals Scoring

In a six team finals bracket over four weeks, the first round (Finals Week 1) consists of two elimination games (3rd vs 6th & 4th vs 5th). Teams ranked 1st & 2nd receive a bye in the first round.

In the second round (Semi Finals), the winners of the first round games play against each other, while the 1st & 2nd teams also play against each other.

In the third round (Preliminary Finals), the winner of the game between the low ranked seeds will face the loser of the 1st & 2nd matchup from round two. While the winner of the 1st & 2nd matchup in round two will have a bye and progress through to the Grand Final.

The last round will see the matchup winner from round three vs the winner of the 1st & 2nd matchup in the round face off in the Grand Final to determine the League Champion.
