How the season works

Format

01

Once a month at one rink

All teams meet in Sarajevo and play several game days over a few days. Instead of weekly away trips, there is one trip a month, so the schedule fits around work, studies and domestic leagues.

02

Three Rounds · 30 games

Each Round runs Thursday to Sunday. Every team plays every other team three times, once per Round, for 12 games each. Most games are in Sarajevo; one game per Round is played in Novi Sad and one in Bulgaria or Turkey.

03

Play-offs

The regular season ends on 20 December. In January, the Final Four is played over one weekend: semi-finals 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3, then the final and the third-place game.
