There were upsets at some of the AAA Zone Championships, notably Penticton dropping from 1 to 4 in the Okanagan, Delta prevailing over Earl Marriott in the Fraser Valley, Argyle over Van Tech in the Lower Mainland, and Dover Bay reaching Island #2 over Royal Bay. This speaks to the competitive balance in the AAA from 1 through 20. Three teams received wild cards, Kelowna, Penticton, and Reynolds.
