Cup

The cup tournament is a separate contest from the rest of the season, in which all seven teams from the league take part, and is unrelated to the season standings. It is not a form of playoffs at the end of the season, but is a competition running in parallel to the regular season, albeit only for PLSQ teams. All matches are separate from the regular season, and are not reflected in the season standings.
The 2017 PLSQ Cup maintained the same format as the previous seasons, as a two-game aggregate knockout tournament with a single match final. As defending champion, AS Blainville were granted a bye for the first round.

Reserve Division

The league operated a reserve division.
