Format
The season's format was highly similar to that of the
previous season. The season had three tournaments or conferences. Each conference had six two-day legs and a grand final. The 12 teams were divided into four pools, with each pool having three teams. Teams within their pools played in a
single round-robin format. The top two teams of each pool directly qualified for the quarterfinals, with qualified teams from Pool A facing those from Pool C, and qualified teams from Pool B facing those from Pool D. The knockout stage was a
single-elimination tournament and a third place game were also held. The winner of each leg received
