The AA (then the ‘B’ tourney) tournament was created as a means of limiting the number of teams taking part in the provincial A tourney. Teams in the B draw represent schools with less than 100 students.
In the first play-in tourney, seven teams take part and the champion is given a berth into the provincial A draw.
In the quarterfinals, held in Woodstock, Newcastle Harkins is given a bye.
