Format
The 2021 season will operate under a modified compressed schedule where each team will play each other once during the preliminary round of the competition. At the end of the preliminary round, teams will be separated into two tiers with the bottom six teams playing each other once in a round-robin format to determine rank. For the top tier, the top two teams will automatically advance to the semi-finals, while the other four teams will play for the remaining semi-finals spots.[4] No team will face relegation during the 2021 season.[4]
Four venues have been approved for matches:
- Independence Park (preferred)
- Sabina Park (preferred)
- Stadium East (alternate)
- Captain Horace Burrell Centre of Excellence (alternate)
Captain Horace Burrell Centre of Excellence was selected to host all five matches kicking off the 2021 season.[13]
