If the wins are split between the two teams, a fifteen-minute mini game will be played immediately after the second game to break the tie. In the Western Conference, the playoff format will be single elimination, which was used in the former PASL. The Ron Newman Cup final will use the home and home (MISL) format, including a mini game to break the tie.
