The Competition
The playoff is a double round robin tournament with 6 matchdays, spaced over 19 days. Standings are determined by the following criteria, in order:
- number of points, with three points for a win and one for a draw;
- number of wins;
If teams are still equal, a test match needs to be organised between those teams.

Famous quotes containing the word competition:
“The praise of ancient authors proceeds not from the reverence of the dead, but from the competition and mutual envy of the living.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
“Playing games with agreed upon rules helps children learn to live by rules, establish the delicate balance between competition and cooperation, between fair play and justice and exploitation and abuse of these for personal gain. It helps them learn to manage the warmth of winning and the hurt of losing; it helps them to believe that there will be another chance to win the next time.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
