The season will consist of 10 scheduled matches with four of the 10 clubs participating in each match. Each team will compete on four separate occasions over the course of the regular season, and the top six teams will automatically qualify for the playoffs. The remaining four teams will compete in the 11th match, a play-in that will determine the final two teams that move on.<\/p>\n<p>The 10 scheduled matches will take place over five weeks, with one Thursday-Friday match and one Saturday-Sunday match each week.

we have seen in the previous seasons. The draft has fundamentally changed the dynamic of each team; Aqua Centurions and DC Trident will offer much stronger opposition than in previous years \u2013 especially Aqua. We also have to really understand the new rules in the 400-meter events and the skin selections as last year we were caught a little off-guard with the impact of the jackpot times. Both myself and our head coach Tom Rushton are very happy with our returning athletes and the new athletes joining us from the draft. Season 3 of ISL, I can sum up in one word: \u2018unpredictable.\u2019\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The Regular Season \u2013 the first of three phases in Season 3 \u2013 will see the 10 ISL Clubs competing from 26 August to 30 September at the stunning Piscina Felice Scandone in Naples.<\/p>\n<p>The Regular Season format will see each of the 10 clubs compete 4 times, during the first 10 matches. After the first 10 of the 11 Regular Season matches, the top 6 teams go straight to Playoffs. There will be an 11th match between the 7th to 10th ranked teams after the first 10 Regular Season matches, out of which the top 2 teams will qualify for the Playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>The Play-off phase will take place over three weeks in November, bringing together the top eight ISL Clubs to compete for a spot in the ISL Final. The ISL Grand Final is set to take place early January 2022, when the ISL Champions will be crowned.<\/p>\n<p>ISL is finalizing its global host city selection process for the second and third phases of Season 3, with announcements set to be made in the coming weeks following talks with iconic destinations in Asia, Europe and North America.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISL Announces 11-Match Schedule for Regular Season in Naples, Italy;
