PLAY-OFF PICTURE - HOW IT WORKS
- Each team meets each other twice home and twice away.
- Top four teams progress to the play-offs (All play-off ties raced over two legs) .
- The team finishing top gets to choose from the second, third and fourth placed teams who they wish to race in the semi-finals.
- The winners from the two semi-finals then meet in a two-legged Grand Final to decide Championship winners.
- In the event of a tie on aggregate in the Final, the outcome will be determined by Golden Heats Format.
- The winners of the Championship Play-off Grand Final will race off over two legs against the Premiership bottom team to decide promotion and relegation.
