A playoff between the two 3rd placed teams in the groups with only 1 seed will determine the last quarter-final spot. The bottom team in each group will enter a playoff for relegation, with the first two teams drawn playing each other and the winner retains senior championship status. The beaten team will play the third team with the loser of this match relegated to the Intermediate championship for 2024. The dates for the round matches are expected to be the weekends of 5/6th August, 19/20th August, and 2/3rd September.
