The top ten teams in the conference advance to the playoffs, with the top six teams receiving a bye in the first round of post-season play. The Western Conference Quarterfinals is a best-of-five series, which will determine who will advance to the Conference Semifinal round of play. The Aeros are currently in sixth place in the Conference, and would face the Norfolk Admirals if the playoffs started today.
Teams seeded seventh through 10th will play a best-of-three Qualifying Round, with all games being played at the home of the higher seed. Should it become necessary for the Aeros to host a Qualifying Round series, tickets for those games (Games A, B and C) will go on sale at a later date.
