PLAYOFF PICTURE EMERGING
 | It�s almost time for the playoffs and the Rogers Trophy for the CPSL Championship, considered by most fans to be the most exciting time of the 5-month long campaign.
The playoff picture is emerging slowly with two berths, the third place in each of the Eastern Conference and Western Conference still undecided, but venues have been decided for the quarter-finals to be played early this coming week. |
The big finale weekend will be held at The Cove in London the weekend Friday,October 3 to Sunday, October 5.
To give an outline of how the playoffs work, there will be seven teams in the CPSL playoffs�three from each of the two conferences (east and west) and London City�the host team is automatically included in a Wild Card game if it does not finish in the top three.
And London City is not in the top three.
