Note: The first tie-breaker in PDL standings is head-to-head results between teams tied on points, which is why some teams with inferior goal differences finish ahead in the standings.

In the Great Lakes Division, the 2nd and 3rd place teams qualify for a play-in match. Winner advances with the 1st place team to the conference final four.
In the Northwest Division, the 2nd and 3rd place teams qualify for a play-in match. Winner advances with the 1st place team to the conference final four.
In the Eastern Conference, the 1st place team in the Mid-Atlantic Division automatically qualifies for the conference final four. The 2nd and 3rd place teams in the Mid-Atlantic Division and the 1st and 2nd place teams in the Northeast Division and the South Atlantic Divisions play each other to qualify for the conference final four.
