1970-71 saw the introduction of a new format.

2 points were awarded for a win and 1 for a draw.

The final match-up is: Winner Semi-final 1 v Winner Semi-final 2.

In the event that teams finish on equal points, then a play-off will be used to determine group placings if necessary, i.e. where to decide relegation places or quarter-finalists.
