There are eight teams in each division. Each plays each other team once, home or away, and receives two points for a win and one for a draw.
The top two teams in Division 1 advance to the semi-finals. The third- and fourth-placed teams in Division 1 go into the quarter-finals, as do the top two teams in Division 2.
The top two teams in Divisions 2, 3 and 4 are promoted for the following season. The bottom two in Divisions 1, 2 and 3 are relegated.
