Playoffs edit

The play-offs utilised the Page–McIntyre system to determine the two grand finalists. This saw the top two from the regular season, Surrey Storm and Team Bath, play each other, with the winner going straight through to the grand final. The loser gets a second chance to reach the grand final via the minor final. The third and fourth placed teams, Northern Thunder and Hertfordshire Mavericks also play each other, and the winner advances to the minor final. The winner of the minor final qualifies for the grand final.
