The top four ranked teams received byes into the quarterfinal round and were arranged so that were they all to reach the national semifinal the first seed would play the fourth seed and the second seed would play the third seed.

Because the top four ranked teams were split evenly between eastern and western teams these teams were automatically advanced into the Quarterfinal round. The remaining two western teams were placed in the dame First Round game with the winner advancing to play the top western seed. The bottom four eastern teams were arranged as follows; the fourth eastern seed would play the seventh eastern seed with the winner advancing to play the second eastern seed while the fifth eastern seed would play the sixth eastern seed with the winner advancing to play the top eastern seed.

The remaining team, the third eastern seed, received a bye into the quarterfinal to play the second western seed.
