Each team is guaranteed 4 games. Teams that reach their division's championship will play in a 5th game. Teams register for one of five divisions and are placed into one of six pools, based on their registration level combined with the average level of their registered players. After 2 games of pool play, teams are distributed among seven divisions, based on power rankings (win/loss, head-to-head, goals for, etc). The top two teams in each division after two more games move on to the championship for that division.
