Cup

The cup tournament is a separate contest from the rest of the season, in which all nine teams from the league take part, and is unrelated to the season standings. It is not a form of playoffs at the end of the season (as is typically seen in North American sports), but is a competition running in parallel to the regular season (similar to the Canadian Championship or the FA Cup), albeit only for PLSQ teams. All matches are separate from the regular season, and are not reflected in the season standings.

In a change from previous seasons, it will begin with a group stage featuring three group of three teams each. The top team in each group, as well as the best second place finisher will advance to the knockout round.
