University Cup The tournament reverted to a round-robin format with four conference champions joined by a tournament host and one wild-card. The teams were arranged so that one team from OUAA and Canada West would be in each group, preventing intra-conference matches in pool play. Additionally, the champions of the two conferences were placed in different pools so that each pool would only have two conference champions. The remaining two teams were distributed by committee.
