Schedule

12 teams (including a phantom non-playing team to make up the numbers and ensure schedules work!): 4 non-playing teams per week & 8 playing teams per week over 2 host venues (4 teams per venue)

Number of games: Each team plays each other once i.e. 3 games each per week and 6 games in total each week. Each team will play 6 weeks x 3 games per week = 18 games + playoffs.

Playing time: 6 games x 14 minutes per game

**NB: Phantom Team

Phantom team does not exist but is needed to ensure the season works.

There are two scenarios:

1: When the “Phantom Team” is NOT scheduled to play at a venue, then each team plays each other ONCE i.e. each of the 4 teams play three games each of 14 mins (total of 6 games x 14 mins over the 90 minutes). All games count towards the league standings.

OR

2: When the “Phantom Team” IS scheduled to play at a venue, then each team plays each other TWICE at THAT venue where the Phantom Team is scheduled to play i.e. each of the 3 teams (as the Phantom can’t play!) play four games each of 14 mins (total of 6 games x 14 mins over the 90 minutes); BUT – only the first game against each other country towards the league standings – with the second game against each other being “a friendly” game and the score does NOT count and should NOT be reported to the Results Secretary.

In “all” games where schools are scheduled to play against “Phantom” – a 20-0 victory will be recorded in favor of the Phantom’s opponents.
