University Cup

[edit]

The tournament continued the policy of inviting two teams from the conference that served as host. However, as a change from previous seasons, rather than give the hosting conference byes into the semifinal round, all entrants into the tournament were placed into two round-robin groups. The six teams were sorted by a committee prior to the tournament and arranged so that the two AUAA 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.
