The format for the season consisted of a league stage followed by playoffs. The league stage consisted of 108 matches, with each team playing 18 matches. [5] [6] [7]
Teams are awarded two points for a win and none for a loss. [5] [6] A tie-breaker rule was introduced to all league-stage matches in case the teams finish with the same number of points at the end of regular time. The tie-breaker consisted of a five raid shootout with specific conditions. The teams would have seven players at all time with no outs or revivals, and the baulk line would become the bonus line. Each team nominated five different raiders to raid in the specified order with raids alternating between teams. [5] [7] If the points were still tied after five raids, the winner would be decided by a golden raid. In case both teams remain tied after golden raids, the winner would be decided by a coin toss.
