In each round, the highest remaining seed in each conference is matched against the lowest remaining seed. The higher-seeded team is awarded home floor advantage, which gives them all three games at home. In the Murphy Cup Final, home floor is determined based on regular season points, giving the Montreal Roadrunners home floor for this year's series. Each series is a best-of-three, with the third game being a one 12-minute period mini-game.
