Eight teams of each gender competed at the championships, including two from Western Canada, two from Atlantic Canada, and three from Ontario, including the hosts, Brock University. Quebec held one spot each in the men's and women's championships, but chose not to use their entries, so the spots were filled by a team from Western Canada on the men's side and a team from Ontario on the women's side. The format was the same as the previous year's format; the teams competed in a round robin, and at the conclusion of the round robin, the first place team received a bye straight through to the final, and the second and third place teams played for the second spot in the final.
