The top four money-earning teams from each Super Series advance to one of two Semifinals. Six teams from each Semifinals will go to to one of two Wildcard Rounds.

Four contestants from each Semifinals and one from each Wildcard advance to the Championship Finals on March 17. The 10 teams compete in the clean-slate format, and the top four from that round advance to the final Championship Shootout round later in the same performance.
