Championship play-offs

Best of three format is applied in all play-off stages, with the higher seeded team playing the first and third game (if necessary) at home. If a game ended with a draw after the regular time, it will proceed to two 5-minutes periods of extra time. If there is still a draw, another 2 × 5-minutes extra time will be played. If the scores are still level after two extra times, the winners are decided by a 7-meter shootout.[7]

Top ranked teams from the regular season choose their opponents in the quarterfinal and semifinal stages.[7] The remaining two highest ranked teams after the quarterfinal stage can not meet in the semifinals.
