- Group Stage: 8 teams split into two groups.
- Double-elimination system ensures fair chances.
- Top 2 from each group advance to playoffs.
The remaining 4 teams—one from each region—skip the group stage and jump straight into the playoff bracket. Their high seeding comes from strong regional finishes earlier in the season.
The playoffs also feature a double-elimination format. Most matches will be best-of-three. The lower final and grand final will be best-of-five thrillers.
