The Meridian Canadian Open is a triple knockout round robin, where teams must win three games before they lose three games in order to qualify for the playoffs. It is just the third year the tournament has used the triple knockout format.

Teams who win earlier have the opportunity to advance with fewer games played. Teams that drop early games can still work their way back into contention, it just usually means a tougher journey.
