New Rules
There are a few changes of rules for the new season.
3-Point System
For the first time an NLA season is run with a 3-point system. A team gets now 3 points for a win after 60 minutes, instead of 2.
Overtime
A tied game after 60 minutes results in an overtime of 5 minutes, which is played 4 vs. 4 (this is not a rule change). But now, if a team scores a goal it gets two points while the other team also gets a point.
Penalty Shootout
If the game still remains tied after the overtime, there will be a penalty shootout with 3 shots per team. The winner team will get two points and the other team one point.

The winner of the best-of-7 series will play in the National League A next season, while the losing team will play in the National League B.
