1.1 Division System

All teams will be split in different Divisions according to their skill level, past Season results and stability. Each Division will then be divided into groups of 8. In those groups, every team will play each other over 2 maps. Three points will be awarded for each map won. No points are given for a loss. In case of a draw a decider round (see rule 2.1.5, or General rule 4.4 for gravelpit) will be played, where 2 points will be given for a win and 1 point for a loss. League points are awarded purely by winning maps, the number of captures has no effect on league points themselves. Captures only determine which team wins a map.
