It is important to keep a close watch on the total number of games played in order to be able to play at least one game against every opponent before the deadline at the end of the 2nd phase. Timetable will be the same for every phase of the regular season, 2 weeks.
Playoffs
The playoffs will start with the quarter finals. The number one seeded team will play against the number eight seeded team, 2nd vs. 7th, 3rd vs. 6th and the 4th vs. the 5th. Home advantage for the semifinals will be determined based on regular season rankings.
