The participants were matched up based on geographical proximity, as if the three Federations not participating that season (Northern NSW Football, Football Federation Victoria and Football West) were doing so. Where a team would have played a non-participating Federation that team received a bye to the next round. The series was played over three rounds using a single match home or away knock-out format.
