CORNWALL, Ont. - Wildcard spots for the CCAA's 2012 men and women's soccer national championships have been confirmed.

The CCAA's men and women's soccer national championship tournaments will each consist of eight teams: five provincial champions, a second team from the host conference, and two wildcard spots. 

The wildcard spots are awarded to CCAA member conferences based on their performance at CCAA national championships over the past three years. Conferences awarded wildcard spots are eligible to send a second team to the CCAA national championships. No conference may fill more than two spots at a CCAA national championship, which excludes the host conference from being eligible for wildcards. 

The 2012 CCAA Men's Soccer National Championship will be hosted by Douglas College in New Westminster, B.C. on November 7-10, 2012. B.C.'s PACWEST conference earned a wildcard but as hosts are ineligible to accept; therefore Alberta's ACAC conference and Ontario's OCAA conferences are entitled to send a second team. 

The 2012 CCAA Women's Soccer National Championship will be hosted by Holland College in Charlottetown, P.E.I. on November 7-10, 2012. Wildcard spots will be awarded to second-place teams from the Quebec's RSEQ conference and the ACAC.
