Aviva Premiership 2011/2012 : Competition format

The Aviva Premiership is organized in a regular season that begins in September to end in May and comprises 22 rounds of matches, with each and every club playing each of its rivals home and away.

During an aviva Premiership match, points that contribute to team standings can be earned in a number of ways:

    4 points are awarded for a win
    2 points are awarded for a draw
    1 bonus point is awarded to a team that loses a match by 7 points or fewer
    1 bonus point is awarded to a team scoring 4 tries or more in a match

After the end of the twenty two regular season rounds, the final standings of the twelve clubs determine which teams enter the finals – the top four clubs in the standings enter the semi-finals. The club that finishes at the top of the table earns a home game in their semi-final against the fourth-placed club. The club that finishes second in the standings also earns a home semi-final, hosting the third-placed club. The two semi-finals are played in May, with the winners of both games entering the championship final, which is played at Twickenham Stadium. The winner of the final are the season champions.
