All rounds were Single-game elimination. The top four teams were arranged so that were they all to reach the national semifinal, the first overall seed would play the fourth seed while the second seed would play the third seed. Because only one Western team could have received a bye into the quarterfinals, all western teams played in the first round to prevent lower-seeded teams from having to travel long-distances in the first two rounds. The other first round participants were the two lowest-seeded eastern teams. The winners of the two western first round matches would play one another in the quarterfinals. The top eastern seed would play the winner of the eastern first-round game while the other two quarterfinal matches were played between eastern teams as follows: the second-seeded eastern team played the fifth-seeded team while the third-seed played the fourth-seed. The higher-seeded team served as host for all first round and quarterfinal meetings.
