Championship

Calgary Stampeders are the current Grey Cup holders

The CFL uses The Crossover Playoff format

First place prize is The Grey Cup

Cross over Playoff Format

If the fourth-place team in division A has more points, not tied, than the third-place team in division B, the fourth-place team will crossover to division B, replace the third place team in division A, and compete against the second-place team of that division.

Let’s look at the 2005 season for an example.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders finished the season 9-9, fourth place in the West Division. In the East Division, the Ottawa Renegades finished in third with a 7-11 record. Since the Riders had a better record than the third place in the opposite division, they crossed over and played the Montreal Alouettes in the East Semi-Final. They lost 30-14.
