Frankston will progress to the NBL1 National Final as either the Champion of the South or the Wildcard Winner. If Frankston are the conference champions, they will face the NBL1 North Champions on Friday night of the National Final, if they enter through the Wildcard slot they will face the NBL1 East Champions.
