[edit] Format change for Rogers Cup finals

Due to Toronto Croatia and the Serbian White Eagles playing for the Championship Cup, the CSL decided to change the format to a two-leg game rather than the standard knockout. The first game will be played on Friday, October 27, and will be played in front of only Croatia fans, with the team serving as the home side. The next day, October 28, the White Eagles will be the home side, and their fans will be the only ones permitted at the game.
