Bettian League Of Gridiron

Competition Format
Each team plays each other once during the regular season. Each team is awared three points for a win, one point for a draw and nothing for a defeat. In addition, bonus points are awarded for the following: -
- Scoring four touchdowns in one match - 1 point
- Scoring six touchdowns - 2 points (total)
- Shut-outs (i.e. conceding no points in a single match) - 1 point
- Twenty point margin of victory - 1 point
Therefore, the maximum number of points available for any one match would be seven (three for the win, two for scoring six touchdowns, one for a shut-out and one for winning by more than twenty points). This feat has already been achieved, when Akani Sands beat Whitchurch 59-0 on matchday 3.
The four teams finishing first and second in their groups progress to the knockout stages, with the top teams having home advantage. The knockout stages continue using random draws until two teams are left to contest the Arora Bowl final, which this year is staged in Bettia's national stadium, the Stadiwm Bettia.
