Because three teams were equal on points, the following rules were used to determine the final placements: First, the game against the last team was taken out of the ranking for all three teams. Then the teams were sorted according to their goal quotient, that is, according to the proportion of goals scored in relation to the total of goals scored and goals conceded. Acadie-Bathurst led this ranking with a quotient of 10/19 (~ 0.53), so that the Titan made it straight to the final. The places two and three were then determined by direct comparison, so that Regina reached second place and thus received home rights in the semifinals.
