Playoff Format

PNWJLL PLAYOFF FORMAT

The Pacific Northwest Junior Lacrosse League (PNWJLL) playoff format has changed in 2025 to a "Top 4" format, with 6 teams competing in the league.

The first round (Semi-final) will see the team with the best league record (1st place) face the (4th place) team. The first place team will have the first and third (if needed) games of the series at their arena while the 4th place team will have the second game at their arena. The team with the second best record (2nd place) in league play will face the (3rd place) team. The second place team will have the first and third (if needed) games of the series at their arena while the third place team will have the second game at their arena. The Semi-final series will be a best-of-three affair.

The second round (Finals) will showcase the two winning clubs from the (Semi-final) round. Home floor advantage for the PNWJLL Championship goes to the Club that placed higher in regular season standings. The Final Championship series will be another best-of-three affair.

The Club that wins the Final Series will be declared the PNWJLL Champion and the 2nd place team will be declared the Runners-Up. Both teams will advance to the British Columbia Junior B Tier 2 Lacrosse Provincial Championships.

The Pacific Northwest Junior Lacrosse League will host these Championships in even years (ie: 2022, 2024) and the West Coast Junior Lacrosse League will host these Championships in odd years (ie: 2023, 2025); until such time as another Tier 2 League is declared in British Columbia.
