The Clark Cup playoffs features all twelve teams playing in Division-based 7-game series in the opening round, followed by a quarterfinal round-robin where the winners of the opening round play each other team once. The semifinal matchups are made by pitting the top teams in the two round robin series against the second-place team from the opposite division in a single-elimination game with the two victors meeting in a single-game championship match.
