In 2005, the league re-organised into three geographical divisions. For three
seasons, a play-off series was organised to determine the overall Champions (involving
the three divisional title winners and the best second-placed team), but after the
overall winners had been the best second-placed team two years in a row, from 2008
the overall title was awarded to the divisional winner with the best points per game tally.
