Cup

The cup tournament is a separate contest from the rest of the season, in which all seven teams from the women's division take part. It is not a form of playoffs at the end of the season (as is typically seen in North American sports), but is more like the Canadian Championship or the FA Cup, albeit only for League1 Ontario teams. All matches are separate from the regular season, and are not reflected in the season standings.

The cup tournament for the women's division consists of two phases. The first phase is a group phase, where two groups of either three or four teams play in a single round-robin format. From each group, the top two teams advance to the knockout phase, which consists of a semifinal and a final.

Each match in the group stage must return a result; any match drawn after 90 minutes will advance directly to kicks from the penalty mark, with the winner receiving two points in the standings, while the loser receives one point.[4] Likewise, any knockout round matches which are tied after full time head directly to penalty kicks instead of extra time.[5]
