BWPL clubs could find themselves targeting a three-point win next season – and facing the drama of penalty shoot-outs when games are drawn.
The League Committee have agreed that new World Aquatics regulations, also adopted by European Aquatics, should be introduced in all divisions.
This would mean every match being played to a finish. So, when a draw occurs after four periods, the outcome will be decided on a penalty shoot-out, with points awarded as follows:
Win in regular time - three points
Win after penalty shoot-out - two
Loss after penalty shoot-out - one
Loss in regular time - no points
The new system requires a change in BWPL rules. Therefore, before the new system can be introduced, there will be an opportunity for clubs to have their say at the League annual meeting, which takes place online on Sunday, 2 June, 1pm. Clubs will be notified of logon details.
