The finals are determined though a best-of-seven playoff. Teams that miss the finals participate in a best-of-five playoff to determine final positioning. In addition to the title, winning team is given a cash prize by the league, $1,000,000 USD, shared by all of the players. National finalists receive silver and bronze medals.
