In addition to the four regional qualifiers, one spot for the host team and one for a wild-card were brought back. With six teams now qualifying for the postseason, the tournament was reverted to a round-robin format. The wild-card was offered on a rotation basis to the runner up for one conference, beginning with AUAA. If the host team was also a conference champion, that conference would receive a second wild-card bid. For the first time, all teams were ranked by committee with a preference to avoid intra-conference matches in pool play. The championship game remained a single elimination.
