The Provincial Tournament will include the top four teams from the playoffs and the host association for a Final Five Showdown.

The wildcard will come from the same Conference as the host team.

The Final Five Showdown will consist of a round robin format, with each team playing four round robin games, the highest seeded team from the regular season will be considered the “Home” team during the Round Robin. Following the completion of the Round Robin, the standings from the round robin play will determine their rankings for the finals. The 5th place team in the tournament will be eliminated after the round robin with the 1st place team playing the 2nd place team in the Gold Medal Game and the 3rd place team will play the 4th place team in the Bronze Medal Game.

All U13 AA teams will participate in playoffs. The AFHL will host Two Playoff Tournaments that will identify the Divisional Winners and Provincial Tournament Representatives.

  • One South Championship Tournament

Both Tournaments will be seeded based on regular season standings.

The First weekend will consist of three game series to determine who will compete in the Divisional Playoff Tournaments. Rankings for the series (and Divisional Tournaments) will be determined by their standings at the conclusion of the regular season. Host team will get a bye into the Divisional Tournament and all remaining teams will be seeded for the three-game series.

If the host is the first seed overall, the seeding would look like:

For the South: 2nd place will play 7th, 3rd will play 6th, and 4th will play 5th in a best of three game series. Winning teams will advance to the South Divisional Tournament.

*Seedings will be adjusted according to Host Team’s final standings*

For the South Divisional Tournament, it will include the top three teams from the playoffs and the host association. The Tournament will consist of a round robin format, with each team playing three round robin games. The highest seeded team from the regular season will be considered the “Home” team during the Round Robin. Following the completion of the Round Robin, the standings from the round robin play will determine their rankings for the Gold Medal Game. Only the first and second place teams from the Tournament Round Robin will compete in the Gold Medal Final.

The Provincial Tournament will include the top two teams (those that advance to the Gold Medal Games).  In the case of the Host Association winning their respective way into the Provincial Tournament, a wildcard will be selected from the remaining teams within that Division.
