Competition
There are 8 clubs in the TT Pro League. During the course of a league season (from August to May) each team competes against every other team twice, once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents. The last seven matches of the regular season were competed with half the teams given four home and three away games. The remaining teams played three home and four away matches for a total of 21 games. Each match sees the winning team awarded three league points, or in the case of a draw, the teams receive one point each. No points are awarded for a loss. At the end of the league season, the club with the most league points is crowned league champion. If league points are equal, the goal difference, followed by total goals scored, and then by head-to-head records between tying teams. There is no automatic promotion to the Pro League. The league's club members vote to determine which, if any, applications for admission into the league will be permitted. Preference is given to the National Super League champion.

Famous quotes containing the word competition:
“The elements of success in this business do not differ from the elements of success in any other. Competition is keen and bitter. Advertising is as large an element as in any other business, and since the usual avenues of successful exploitation are closed to the profession, the adage that the best advertisement is a pleased customer is doubly true for this business.”
—Madeleine [Blair], U.S. prostitute and “madam.” Madeleine, ch. 5 (1919)
“All adults who care about a baby will naturally be in competition for that baby.... Each adult wishes that he or she could do each job a bit more skillfully for the infant or small child than the other.”
—T. Berry Brazelton (20th century)
“Sisters define their rivalry in terms of competition for the gold cup of parental love. It is never perceived as a cup which runneth over, rather a finite vessel from which the more one sister drinks, the less is left for the others.”
—Elizabeth Fishel (20th century)
