Note: The Golden Gate Conference playoff matches were determined by random draw. [27] The teams that finished in the top four of the regular season ( El Farolito, Napa Valley 1839 FC, San Ramon FC, Oakland SC) were placed in Pot A, teams that finished in the bottom four ( Sacramento Gold FC, Sonoma County Sol, FC Davis, Oakland Stompers) were placed in Pot B. Pot A teams were drawn against Pot B teams, with the former hosting the conference quarterfinals. The winners of Game 1 and 3 (shown below in order from top to bottom) will host the semifinal matches.
The conference semifinal winners will advance to the West Region Semifinal round, which will double as the conference championship final. The remaining teams will be seeded #1 & #2 based on regular season PPG.

[27] The teams that finished in the top four of the regular season ( El Farolito, Napa Valley 1839 FC, San Ramon FC, Oakland SC) were placed in Pot A, teams that finished in the bottom four ( Sacramento Gold FC, Sonoma County Sol, FC Davis, Oakland Stompers) were placed in Pot B. Pot A teams were drawn against Pot B teams, with the former hosting the conference quarterfinals. The winners of Game 1 and 3 (shown below in order from top to bottom) will host the semifinal matches.
The conference semifinal winners will advance to the West Region Semifinal round, which will double as the conference championship final. The remaining teams will be seeded #1 & #2 based on regular season PPG.
