The 2023 Winter League returns with 10 teams split into two pools of 5 for the first part of competition.

The pool qualifying matches will last for the first five weeks, with each team having one rest week. All games will be 40 minutes and they'll be four games each week - two at 8pm and two at 9pm.

There will be five more weeks of competition and no rest weeks. Matches will be 40 minutes in length. The six teams progressing to the plate will then play one another once more over five weeks with games being shortened in length to 30 minutes to allow for three games each week.
