Relegation

• Bottom team in each Zone is relegated

Other

• Only 4 foreign players allowed

• Things change entirely in the second season as an extra two teams are put into each zone but from what I can tell there is a minimum 6 relegation spots up for grabs but the promotion method to the top flight stays the same
