Teams within each division play each other in a home and away round robin schedule over a two-year period.
At the end of each season a champion is declared, but for relegation and promotion only the two years ranking are considered.
The first in the 2010–2012 ranking of each pool will be promoted while last place teams will be relegated.
Additionally, there will be playoff matches between second place teams and fourth place teams between pools.
Winners of these playoffs will determine if additional promotions/relegation occur.
