*Bracket Scenarios

- This is a double-elimination tournament

- If two teams remain after game two, games three to five will be a best-of-three series between the remaining teams to determine the title.

- If two teams remain after game three, the remaining teams will play in game four. The team that is 2-0 would win the regional title with a game four win. If the 1-1 team wins game four, then the same teams will play again in game five to determine the regional champion.

- If three teams remain and are each 1-1 after game three, then the #2 and #3 seeds will play in game four. The winner of game four will then face the #1 seed in a winner-take-all game five for the regional title.
