Clearly ahead means they must have more wins than any other team, or tiebreaker games will be required to determine that position. The 2^nd and 3^rd place teams will then play a playoff game for the Silver and Bronze medals, with the winner receiving the WJBCC Junior Women’s Silver Medal and qualifying their Association for the World Junior (WJCC) 2004.

At the end of the round-robin series there must be a clear ranking for 1^st and 2^nd position in each group. The playoff format will then be:
- the first ranked team from MA will play against the first ranked team from MB, the winner of that game will receive the WJBCC Junior Men’s Gold Medal and qualify their Association for the World Junior (WJCC) 2004. The loser of that game qualifies to play in the Silver/Bronze Medal game.
- the second ranked team from MA will play against the second ranked team from MB, the winner of that game will qualify to play in the Silver/Bronze Medal game.
- the winner of the Silver/Bronze Medal game will receive the WJBCC Junior Men’s Silver Medal and qualify their Association for the World Junior (WJCC) 2004. The loser of this game will receive the WJBCC Junior Men’s Bronze medal.

5. There will be a five minute practice for each team before each round-robin game. The practice starts at the scheduled game time.
