SUPER LEAGUE RULES
At all times, the Super League staff reserve the right to take any decision, or make any ruling, that they believe is in the best interests of the competition(s).
ALL DECISIONS ARE FINAL
By participating in any of the Super League competitions, clans and their players are agreeing to these rules and any decisions made by the League hosts.
9. COMPETITION FORMAT
9.1 PHASE 1
Clans will compete in two groups playing all of the other clans at least once. Where clans enter two teams then one team will be placed into each group. The Clan finishing with the best record at the end of PHASE 1 wins the League Leaders Shield.
9.2 PHASE 2
At the end of PHASE 1 there will be a Play-Off competition to decide the Super League winners as follows:-
Week 1
Four matches will take place on Week One, effectively in two pools: the Qualifying Play-offs and the Elimination Play-offs
Qualifying Play-Offs
These matches involve the clans who finish in the top two of each group. They are:
1st Group 1 v 2nd Group 2 and 2nd Group 1 v 1st Group 2
The winners of these two games will progress directly to Week 3. The highest ranked winning clan (clan with the best record from PHASE 1) will have Game Call, whereby they choose their opponents in Week 3. The losers of these two matches will have another chance in Week 2 when they will play the winners of the Week 1 Elimination Play-Offs.
Elimination Play-Offs
3rd Group 1 v 4th Group 2 and 4th Group 1 v 3rd Group 2
