Competition Format

The 2008/2009 competition will opearte on a merit table basis with teams organizing fixtures amongst themselves. The first fixtures are in October, with the final date for games to be included in the league table being the end of March 2009.

The scoring system for matches is as follows:

Any Win: 3 points
Any Draw: 2 points
Any defeat, not conceded: 1 point
120+ KM trip to away game: 1 point

Default on game within three days of fixture: 0 points, with 40-0 score-line awarded to opposition and one game added to the team total.

The average number of points scored per game, rather than the total, determines positions in the league table.
