University Cup

The rotating wild-card moved to Canada West. Due to the conference already advancing two teams due to Saskatchewan acting as host and participating in the conference championship, a third place game was instituted to determine the wild-card qualifier.

All teams were ranked by committee with a preference to avoid intra-conference matches.
