Unlike last season, there will be no round robin in Round 3. This season, the winner of the Island Division will play the winner of the Mainland Division to determine which club goes to the BCHL Finals against the winner of the Interior Division.
All six Interior teams qualified for the playoffs this year, as per a decision made by the league board of governors at the October BCHL meeting. The top-two Interior seeds, Penticton and Vernon, have byes into the second round.
Each series all the way through the Finals will be a best-of-seven series. In Round 1, the Island and Mainland matchups feature the No. 1 versus No. 4 seeds and the No. 2 versus No. 3 seeds. In the Interior, with No. 1 Penticton and No. 2 Vernon receiving byes to Round 2, the opening round features the No. 3 seed versus No. 6 and No. 4 versus No. 5.
