• Craitish Cosmos and Dyas Stiks qualify automatically
• Regular season champions
• Play-off champions
• Northern, Central and Southern Conference champions, next two best teams from the International Conference, barring Craitish Cosmos and Dyas Stiks.
• If any team qualifies through more than one of the above criteria, then the remaining berths will be allocated to the highest-placed teams in the overall standings.

Regular season
