Regular season

mode

Each team had to play four times against every other team in the league and four times against local teams. Each game consisted of 3 times 20 minutes. If there was a tie after regular time, five minutes of extra time were played. The first goal in extra time decided the game for the team that scored the goal. In the event that a winner was still not found after extra time, the game was decided by a shootout .

A win in regular time earned a team 3 points. A win and a defeat after extra time was rewarded with 2 or 1 point. There were no points for a defeat in regular time.
