The software determines which team advances to the finals based on the aggregate points scored versus points conceded. If the software ranking is still tied between the two teams within the same club, a quick first-to-10 match will be played to determine the winner within that club.

Finals would never have finalists from same club. The final will always consist of one team from Melbourne Smashers and one team from Team SHAPER
