Teams

Nineteen teams are competing in the league. These were split into two groups, one group of ten and another of nine.[2] The top team from each group will be promoted with another team to be promoted emerging from the play-offs, a deciding match with the winner of each group being declared the champion of the league. The clubs placed second in each group shall play a deciding promotion play-off match and the winner shall be promoted to the Challenge League. The losing side will play in the final of the play-offs. The play-offs will start with the fifth placed team from group A playing with fourth placed side from group B and vice versa. The winners from the first round will play the third placed clubs in either group. The second round winners will play each other in the third round with the winners of that contest going on to play the runners-up from the promotion final. [3]
