How do the Semi-Finals work?
- Each Semi-Final is a two-leg, aggregate-scoring series
- Overtime is played if the aggregate score is tied after 60 minutes in the second leg (i.e. tied after 120 minutes of the series), and played 3-on-3 for 10 minutes
- If the aggregate score is still tied after overtime, a shootout follows to decide the winner
