The rotating wild-card moved to OUA. In lieu of a third place game, the bid went to Wilfrid Laurier on the basis of winning more conference semifinal games than Quebec–Trois-Rivières (1 vs. 0). The teams were ranked and sorted with preference given to avoiding intra-conference matches in pool play.
