Playing System
The following playing system is subject to the number of teams registered for 2024.
Round Robin
Teams will be divided into two Pools (Pool A and Pool B). Teams will play against teams in their pool, in a single round robin. Points are awarded to teams after each game:
Seeding Rounds
After the Round Robin, the top five teams based on number of points in each pool go into the Premier Group (ten teams in total), and the bottom five teams in each pool go into the Championship Group (ten teams in total).
Teams will only carry over the points gained against teams in their new seeding pool (points gained against teams NOT in their seeding pool are not carried over).
In their new seeding pools, teams only play against teams they have not already played against. Points gained are added to their points carried over from the RR.
Playoffs
After the Seeding Rounds, Teams are ranked according to their number of points.
Teams ranked 1-4 go into the A playoffs; Teams ranked 5-8 go into the B playoffs; Teams ranked 9-12 go into the C playoffs; Teams ranked 13-16 go into the D playoffs; Teams ranked 17-20 go into the E playoffs.
Within each playoff division, the team ranked 1st and 4th, and 2nd and 3rd play against each other. Winners compete for the playoff division’s “Gold medal” game. Losers compete for the playoff division’s “Bronze medal” game.
