As tournament host, the QUAA received two bids to the tournament. The six teams were sorted by a committee prior to the tournament and arranged so that the two QUAA teams would be in opposite brackets. In the round-robin groups, the teams that finished with the best record would advance to the championship game. If there was a tie for the best record, the first tie-breaker was goal differential. If there was a tie in goal differential, the teams would play sudden death overtime for the advantage.
