Places 1-8 were qualified for the play-offs. The teams that had won the most of five games in the quarter-finals against their opponents qualified for the semi-finals. In the semi-finals, the best-of-5 mode was also played. The winners of the semifinals advanced to the final, while the losers in the small final played for third place. In the final five games were played again. Whoever won the most games was the winner of the season. Only one game was played in the round for third place.

The respective opponents were put together so that the top ranked team plays against the worst, the second best, against the second worst, and so on.
