The League will consist of two sections: JACK ROSS and TOM McCALLISTER

The winners and runners-up of each section will qualify for the play-offs.

Only players who have played in at least one East Antrim League game during the regular season will be eligible for the play-offs.

The semi-finals will be over one leg with section winners hosting the runners-up from the other section and the final will then be over two legs with the winner of Jack Ross Section (or runner up in the Tom McAllister Section) hosting the first leg in the absence of mutual agreement to reverse the order.

In the event of a tie on points for first or second place in a section the team, which gained more points away from home, will take precedence. If teams are still tied then the result of the fixture between the two teams will decide. Where it is still not possible to identify a winner a play-off with the venue being decided on the toss of a coin will be used.

Note: The Jack Ross Trophy will be presented at the second leg of the final.

The first and last teams in each section will exchange sections for 2009 season.
