Competition format The league operates on a promotion and relegation system with multiple divisions. The exact format has varied over the years, but it currently involves: Regular Season: All participating teams compete in a league format, playing each other once (which means all teams play 10 matches).
The Kaya 6 Stage: The top six teams from the regular season enter this phase, playing in a single round-robin format.
Final Stage - Kaya 4: The top four teams from the Kaya 6 Stage compete in another round-robin phase. The two best teams from this stage advance to the final match to determine the league champion.
The league typically starts in the fall, with the final match played in the summer of the following year.
