3. Championship formula 📚
The Conferences
How do the first matches of the championship unfold?
The Conference phase is the "classic" championship phase. During this period, you will play against each team in your group. A win earns 3 points, a draw earns 1 point, and a defeat earns 0 points. This is how the ranking for each group is determined.
The Barrages
Concretely, what are the Barrages?
At the end of the Conference phase, teams qualify for the Barrages. Based on their ranking in their Conference, each team plays against a team from the other Conference (example: Each team from Group A will face a team from group B. This determines the overall ranking of the entire division and defines the final each team will play on the Play-Offs day.
When will we know who we are playing against?
You will be informed of your future opponents once all Conference phase matches have taken place. Official information will only be available shortly before the start of the barrages. But we have no doubt that the most methodical among you have been keeping an eye on the standings for several weeks to assess who their potential future opponents might be! 😉
Note: In case of a tie in the standings, CL follows the rules of the URBSFA (Belgian Football Association). Thus, the stats we will look at are, in order:
- Number of victories
- Best goal difference
- Highest number of goals scored
- ... (there are other rules if teams are still not separated, but that seems highly improbable, doesn't it? For the curious ones, we refer you to Article B7.42 of the URBSFA regulations!)
Where will we play our matches?
To be determined...
What happens in case of a tie at the end of the regulation time of the Barrage match?
In case of a tie at the end of the playoff match, we directly go through penalties, with 5 shooters on each side (similar to a regular penalty shootout).
When will they take place?

4. The Play-offs ⚽
Concretely, what are the Play-offs?
The Play-offs are the day that will reward all the efforts made by your team throughout the year. Teams from your league come together to compete on a day that promises to be memorable.
Throughout the day, teams will play their final match of the season, as decided during the Barrages. This decisive match will determine your final ranking in the championship. So, it's time to give your last efforts in this ultimate battle!
Once your match is over, liberated from all pressure, you can go and cheer for the remaining teams and celebrate!
Where will it take place and when?
To be determined...
Depending on the result of your playoff, your team will be assigned a schedule for its final on the day of the Play-Offs. Only your position in the standings of your championship will impact the kickoff time of your match! Teams lower in the standings will indeed play earlier in the day than teams higher in their rankings.
The detailed schedule will be communicated to all teams once the Barrage matches are concluded.
How many players can be registered on the match sheet?
The Play-offs are no exception! The number of players listed on the match sheet is limited to 12 or 17, depending of the Pack your company has signed for.
