The league has drawn teams into groups with clubs battling league sides exclusive to the groups for the 2021 League’s Regular Season. This is sharply different from the previous format where all teams are lumped into a single league standing.

“It’s okay for now because of the challenges we are all facing in the country so it’s okay…we should be in the top 4” he said in response when asked about the changed format.
The format was adopted to aid the league to finish on time after a protracted delay due to lingering effects of the COVID 19 pandemic.
