The league format for season 2003 is:
 
One game per month. A total of 12 games per year.
 
Points awarded:
 
7 points - Winner
3 points - 2nd place
1 points - 3rd place
 
No points awarded to anyone outside the top three.
 
Status:
 
Out of the 12 ranking game opportunities, players should take their best 9 scores and discard three weakest.  
 
That way at the end of the league we are much more likely to have had everyone play the same number of scoring games as people now have the opportunity to miss three matches (dates can be difficult sometimes).  
 
Therefore maximum score is 70 e.g. 9 wins.
