The Divisional Champions are then invited to participate at their respective International Silver Stick Finals tournament.
Each team will play 3 games against the teams within their own pool. The teams will be ranked from 1st to 4th, based on points from Round Robin Play.
The teams that finish 1st and 2nd in each pool will play a crossover vs opposite pool (1st vs 2nd) in a Semi-final game. The winner of each Semi-final game will then play in the Championship game.
