Hi Rainbow...dont worry about it....of course I explain..is kind of hard to understand indeed...hehehhe
WEll...there are 12 teams playing Superliga...this teams are splited in 2 groups...that are above..if you want to see...
The Superliga is splited in 4 fases at first...and tehn 8 best teams passed to play off...with quarter finals (best of 3 games), semifinals(best of 3 games)..and Final (just one game...that will be played in Maracanazinho in Rio...no matter the teams that get in Final)
In the fases...victories give you 2 points..and loosing 1
1º FASE - the teams face the other teams from their own group! The best from each group Play one final...the final of The Fase....so...the only objective of this..is to win more points...cause..they will play one more game then the other teams...the team who wins wins 2 points for the General classification...and the one who loose wins 1 point.
2º FASE - You play against the teams from the other group! And again the best teams from each group Face each other in a Final of the 2º Fase
In this finals...the Team that has the best score in the FASE (not in general classification)...have the chance to play the final at home.
3º FASE - Again you will play against the teams from the other group...but now..if You played at home in 2º FASE...now..you will play away, again have a Final between the best teams
And 4º FASE - you face again the teams from your group...but again...if you played at home in 1º FASE...now you play away...
Is basicly the same...of playing in Turn...and return...at the end...cause..you will face..all the teams from the championship home and away...the difference..is that you add 4 more games to the championship...cause have the finals of each FASE....the reason they did this..were to make the Superliga more interesting..cause have the finals..and they worth points to general classification...
In Playoffs..is the same as any other championship...They will pick the 8 best teams in General Qualification....and make 1º x 8º, 2º x 7º, 3º x 6º, 4º x 5º....winniers face each other in Semifinals...and then Final
