Under the new format, the 7th to 10th-ranked teams faced each other in the play-in. Each game is hosted by the team with the higher regular season record. The format was similar to the first two rounds of thePage–McIntyre system for a four-team playoff that was identical to that of theNBA play-in tournament. First, the 7th seed will host the 8th seed, with the winner advancing to theplayoffs as the 7th seed; likewise the 9th seed will host the 10th seed, with the loser eliminated. Then theloser of the 7-v-8 game will host thewinner of the 9-v-10 game, with the winner of that game getting the final playoff spot, as the 8th seed.
