Standings

The CEBL Championship Weekend host club will receive an automatic bye into the conference finals of the playoffs as the lowest seed; unless the host club’s record places them higher in the rankings and they will therefore assume the proper position based on rankings.

The host club will be joined by the first (1st) ranked team from the opposing conference and the winners of the conference semifinal games as outlined above.

Tipoff times and the order of games will be determined by the CEBL in consultation with the CEBL clubs in order to meet the needs of the broadcast partner and host venue.

Championship Weekend Conference Finals

Both conference final games will be single elimination.

In 2024: 

Western Conference Final - Western Conference 1st Place Team vs. Winner of Western Conference Semifinal 

Eastern Conference Final - Montreal Alliance (Host Club) vs. Winner of Eastern Conference Semifinal

CEBL Championship Game

The winners of the Conference Finals will progress to the CEBL Championship Game with the highest remaining seed becoming the home team. The final will be a one-game single elimination to determine the CEBL Champion.

When two (2) or more CEBL clubs are tied in the final conference standings at the conclusion of the regular season schedule, preferential ranking for playoff purposes shall be determined based on the following priorities and shall be awarded to the CEBL club which:

1. Has won the greater number of games played against the other tied CEBL Club; or
2. Has scored the higher net aggregate of points (i.e., points scored for less points scored against) in games played against the other tied CEBL Club; or
3. Has scored the higher net quotient of points (i.e., points scored for divided by points scored against) in games played against the other tied CEBL Club; or
4. Has scored the higher net aggregate of points in games played against all CEBL Clubs; or
5. Has scored the higher net quotient of points in games played against all CEBL Clubs; or
6. Has won a coin toss against the other tied CEBL Club

In the event of a tie involving three (3) or more teams, the above tie-breaking criteria are applied one after another until all tied teams have been ranked. This means if the criteria from a) above determines Team X as the higher seed and there is still a tie between teams Y and Z, then the ranking of the remaining teams will be determined by the criteria in b) or c) and so on, if necessary.
