The Kaya 6 Stage: The top six teams from the regular season enter this phase, playing in a single round-robin format.
Final Stage - Kaya 4: The top four teams from the Kaya 6 Stage compete in another round-robin phase. The two best teams from this stage advance to the final match to determine the league champion.
