Competition changes
The league changed its competition mode from that of a calendar year to a fall-spring schedule.[2] As a consequence, this season will be longer than usual; every team will play six times against each other team, three times at home and three times away.
Teams
Due to the fact that all of the club's in last year's First League competition were reserve teams of the Premier League clubs, there was no promotion or relegation between the two for this season. Therefore, the league membership has not changed from last year's competition.[citation needed]
