There were scheduling restrictions: for example, teams from the same city in general are not scheduled to play at home on the same round (to avoid them playing at home on the same day or on consecutive days, due to logistics and crowd control).
Regular season

round-robin format. The group winners, runners-up, third-placed teams and fourth-placed teams advanced to the
