Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, then head-to-head record, then goal difference, and then goals scored.

At the end of each season, the club with the most points is crowned champion. If points are equal, the head-to-head record and then goal difference determine the winner.
