The top four playoff teams in each conference played in a Seeding Round-Robin tournament against each other to determine the final playoff seeding. The next eight teams in each conference would play in a best-of-five Qualifying Round. The results of both of these rounds (not shown above) are listed below.

The winners of the Qualifying Round were then re-seeded and matched up against the top 4 seeds.
