It is contested by 12 teams that play each other at least three times. Towards the end of the season, the league splits in half, and the top six play their final five fixtures against one another, while the bottom six compete against each other in the lower half of the table.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eIn the bottom six, the team in 12th place is automatically relegated to the Scottish Championship.
