mode

The game mode of SWHL A provides for a preliminary round ( phase 1 ) with 10 games per team and a master round with a further 10 games per team, taking half of the points from the preliminary round. The teams in places 1 to 4 then play play-offs with semi-finals, finals (both in best-of-five mode ) and a game for place 3. The teams in places 5 and 6 determine in a playout round (best-of -Five) the participant in the league relegation between SWHL A and B.
