The participants will be matched up based on geographical proximity. Home advantage for the semi-finals and final will be based on a formula relating to time of winning (normal time, extra time or penalties), goals scored and allowed, and yellow/red cards. The winner will additionally qualify for the 2017 FFA Cup Round of 32.[1]
