National Round
March 20 – March 24
Due to the imbalanced nature of the schedule, the 10 qualifying teams were ranked as follows:[10]
| Seed | Team | Pts | Division |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vernal Oilers | 88 | Northwest |
| 2 | Fresno Monsters | 74 | Pacific |
| 3 | Metro Jets | 72 | Great Lakes |
| 4 | Tampa Bay Juniors | 68 | Florida |
| 5 | Springfield Pics | 68 | New England |
| 6 | Potomac Patriots | 62 | Southeast |
| 7 | Fort Wayne Spacemen | 69 | Midwest |
| 8 | Minnesota Squatch | 74 | North |
| 9 | P.A.L. Jr. Islanders | 50 | Atlantic |
| 10 | Universel Sherbrooke | 49 | Canada |
The teams were then divided into two separate pools (Division 1 and Division 2)
|
Division 1
|
Division 2
|
|
The two pools then played separate round-robin series with the top two finishers in each Division advancing to the national semifinals. Each team would play three games regardless of the number of opponents in their respective divisions.
Ties were broken first by head-to-head matches and then by goal differential.
