Format

edit

The home and away principle was kept, however the season was divided into date blocks. To assist with competition planning, international and national, several teams gathered in one venue to contest “mini-tournaments," wherein they each played two matches against one another.[1]

If one of the two matches played between two teams was cancelled, the winner of the other match received double points.

Teams

edit

Following their withdrawal in the 2021–22 season due to COVID-19 related travel requirements, the national teams of Australia and New Zealand will rejoin for the new season.[3][4]
