Format
The teams are divided in two groups of six teams.
First stage:
- Double round-robin, in which all teams from one group play home-and-away games against all teams of the other group.
- Home-and-away playoffs with the top 4 teams of each group (1st place x 4th place, 2nd place x 3rd place).
Second stage:
- Double round-robin, in which all teams from one group play home-and-away games against all teams within the group.
- Home-and-away playoffs with the top 4 teams of each group (1st place x 4th place, 2nd place x 3rd place).
Third stage (if necessary):
- Home-and-away playoff with the winners of the first and second stages.
If a team wins both stages (first and second) it is crowned the champion. If not, the third stage is disputed, and the winner is the champion.
