Please note that the team standings at the end of the current regular season i.e. excluding playoffs, will determine the groups for the next season.
Teams with odd numbered rankings (1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11) will compete in Group 1 and teams with even numbered rankings (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and12) will compete in Group 2.
Any new teams joining for the next season will be ranked last after all remaining teams have divided into their respective groups.
