University Cup
The format was mostly unchanged from the year before. The only alteration was that the selection committee chose to admit defending national champion and Canada West runner-up Alberta instead of GPAC runner-up Brandon. This was done partially because the two conferences had played an interlocking schedule during the season. The six teams were sorted by a committee prior to the tournament and arranged so that the host and wild card teams would be in opposite brackets.
In the round-robin groups, the teams that finished with the best record would advance to the championship game. If there was a tie for the best record, the first tie-breaker was goal differential. If there was a tie in goal differential, the teams would play sudden death overtime for the advantage.
