Changes from the 2014 season

Format

The 2015 season will bring through some significant changes from the previous season, one of which is the time in which the season starts. The 2014 season began in October, after being delayed from September, but the 2015 season will see the league kick off its second season in September proper.[1] Another change which will be seen in the schedule next season will be an extended period of time in between matches for teams in order to reduce player fatigue and thus help the quality of play.[2]
