Explanation of Pool Play & Tie Breakers
At least 4 teams from each division will advance to the Elimination round, in the case of two pools the top 2 advance. Each team will play at least 4 games of pool play.

For clarification:
The seedings at the end of pool play will be determined by:
- Record in Pool Play
- Head to head record in Pool Play, used only if records are tied
- Usinging Rus-Allowed Ratio, used only if 1 and 2 don't determine a winner.
When 4 teams come out of the pool the flowing schedule will be used:

- Team seeded 2nd will play team seeded 3rd
- The top seed is the host team
When there are two pools (A and B), Top two teams from each pool come out.
- Team seeded 1st in Pool A will play Team seeded 2nd in Pool B
