The BCHL announced details for the 2015-16 Fred Page Cup playoffs on Thursday, with the first round to begin on March 4.
The post-season has the same format as last year, with the top four teams from each division qualifying. Each club will be seeded with No. 1 playing No. 4 and No. 2 versus No. 3 in each division in Round 1.
The Grizzlies hold the Island Division鈥檚 final playoff spot, two points ahead of the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, but Victoria has a game in hand.
The best-of-seven first-round series will be completed by March 13, with Round 2 starting on March 18 and completed by March 27.
The three divisional winners then meet in a double round-robin format with teams seeded one to three based on regular-season point totals. Each team will play each other once at home and once away.
Once a team has earned three wins in Round 3, they advance to the Fred Page Cup and will have home-ice advantage. The remaining two clubs continue playing until one of them achieves three wins to advance to the championship series.
The Fred Page Cup will then commence April 15 and is a best-of-seven series, like the first two rounds.
The BCHL champion then advances to the Crescent Point Energy Western sa国际传媒 Cup, starting April 29 in Estevan, Sask. The top two teams at the WCC go to the RBC Cup national championship, set for May 14 in Lloydminster, Alta.
