PLAY SYSTEM
There will be played a single round robin (total 21 games, 6 games / team). Top 2 clubs of the round robin will play in the Gold Medal Game of the Championships while 3rd and 4th ranked clubs of the round robin will take on each other in the Bronze Medal Game. 5th – 7th ranked clubs will be determined by the round robin results.
If there is tie after the regular time in the medal games there is 2 * 3 minutes over time with the golden goal rule (first scored team is the winner). If there is still tie after the over time the extra throw competition will be organized.
In the round robin a team earns 3 points from the win, 1 point from a draw and 0 points from a loss. The ranking of the clubs will be determined as follows:
a) Earned points;
b) Goal Difference;
c) Missed Goals;
d) If parameters A – C are equal between two teams, better is a team who has won their respective match;
e) If the respective match has finished tie, better is a team who has led at half time;
f) If all the above criteria are tied between two teams, the advancing team will be determined by a draw.
