The L1 Cup tournament is a separate contest from the rest of the season, in which all nine 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 is a single-match knockout tournament with three total rounds culminating in a final match at the end of July, with initial matchups determined by random draw. A preliminary round is also in place to bring the nine total teams from this division down to eight for the quarterfinals. Each match in the tournament must return a result; any match drawn after 90 minutes will advance directly to kicks from the penalty mark instead of extra time. [2]
