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.
