In political science, the idea of "theocracy" is a well-established ideology of rule, but something that is not often discussed. For those unfamiliar, the term "theocracy" implies the unhindered rule of God governing over human society. Often this rule of God is considered in the more nuanced, esoteric sense as Natural Law, Divine Law; or the Law of Karma and God, in the Kabbalastic sense, is considered as the embodiment of the known cosmos and all its intermediaries, as represented by the Tree of Life diagram. By Kabbalists and their predecessors, the Tree of Life was considered to be the "body of God," and by this nature, esoteric scholars considered "God making man in his image," not as God being a humanoid, but looking at a human being as a fractal reflection of the cosmos—or the Microcosm of the Macrocosm.
This system, very briefly put, along with the pervasive functions that it implies, is Natural Law. Additionally, this is also the political ideology of anarchism, and although esoteric philosophy is not essential to anarchism, they are very often considered hand in hand by anarchist authors and researchers. Simply put, anarchism is about the abolishment of hierarchies and institutions, leading to a de-centralized society that promotes group work through voluntarism. In the same way that a neuron or even a bicep strengthens with repetition, so to do the social mainstays adapt to Natural Law, and strengthen over time. This is the alchemy of society!
, which seems to have stemmed in part from Babylon, and saw deep fruition in the societies of Greece, Rome, Persia and the like. Even in ancient Europe, the Druids were often considered the Gnostic interpretation of this hierarchy. In ancient India, the Vedic monks were considered this intermediary, and it was thought by the Vedic that the social-spiritual intermediary that man was in need of was a transitory period—the spiritual training wheels of the common man.
Along this line of thought, in Vedic cosmology, their astronomy involved a charting of the time cycles of the celestial bodies and their interactions with each other on an energetic level on top of simply observing these planets, and the Veda believed in "Yuga Cycles" as a result of this, which can be considered an Indian understanding of the Precession of the Equinoxes and the ancient House of the Zodiac. Each Yuga cycle dictated a different state in conscious that all human beings were electromagnetically transmitting at, and as the earth rotated further and further on in time, so did man's consciousness in a cyclical fashion—eventually going from the end of understanding, back to the beginning, and repeating as the ultimate stage for the Law of Karma to play out on.
The elaboration on the idea of the Yuga Cycles is because of the implications this has on the ancient ideas of consciousness and its evolution—which was upheld throughout all the ancient priest-classes of metaphysics beyond India, but with different terminology. Perhaps in ancient society, because of the way the Earth was reflecting transmission of consciousness, there really was a need for this theocratic hierarchy for a certain period of time—and whether or not this is the case, this is certainly how it was considered during these times.
This is not discrediting the value or doctrines of Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, or schools like it—and these schools of thought have done a great deal of good for humanity—but the fact of the matter is that, if there was ever a time for hierarchy in society, that time has passed. "God" does not give word of law through man, God's laws are the natural and immutable functions of the planet and the cosmos beyond it—they are the silent and inviolable laws of the inner Microcosm and the outer Macrocosm, and the moment a man is claiming to interpret the will of God, it will always be a mistranslation at best—even if the words were truly from some sort of deity. Or as the "telephone game" taught society nothing…?
, as in: what happens when the cattle, or the common man, begins to think for itself?
In reality, the argument that hierarchies are an immutable, inviolable law of nature is a very tenuous and choosy analysis of nature, and is simply false overall. It is common philosophy throughout all esoteric thought, even in ideas like Animism (where there is an essence of "soul" energy in all things), that there are degrees of consciousness. Surely a human should treat all life with the utmost respect, but not even the Native Americans, for example, believed that animals were literally equivalent to humans. Why, then, should some of their under-developed socio-adaptation traits be extrapolated onto human society?
Furthermore, there is only a degree of animals, insects, and general life that function on hierarchy. Do trees rule over each other? What about weather patterns, or the ocean's tide for that matter? Even if animal and human group-think could be equated, wouldn't that mean that there is in turn a reflection of an immutable natural ruler of the ecosystem? There obviously is no such thing—for even the strongest and largest of animals have weaknesses that have been naturally exploited by other animals through adaptation. This article could continue to poke holes in this logic, but it should be fairly evident at this point that there simply is no direct equation here.
The only natural hierarchy is good over evil, and this does not determine "Good" climbing on top of and ruling the "Evil"—but a basic of functionality that prevails and permeates, fundamentally undermining the concepts of evil as a social convention, transmuting the mercurial toxicity of society into shimmering and purified gold the way an individual will purge themselves of unwanted thoughts and habits.
Some researchers online have started running with the off-putting term "Anarcho-Theocracy," and while this is a slightly misleading title due to misconceptions of the ideas, the theory is a sound analysis. However, instead of using a political-sciency term, this article asserts that ideas of "anarcho-theocracy" are best left under the philosophical understanding of unfiltered Natural Law, or perhaps Natural Law Anarchism, if one really wants to put its own label to it. By definition, a Natural Law Anarchism could also be considered a "theocracy" since this world only directly entails a societal rule through God; it is the evolution of political administration that has perverted this idea and further assimilated the intermediary priest-class between man and god. Surely, there is an essential place for the priest in metaphysical doctrine, but a priest is not a politician—and in today's society, the lines have been blurred more than one might think.
Whatever the case, it can be clearly demonstrated that in today's society, culture, and natural global functionality, the administration of government and its esoteric, "divinely inspired" philosophies are outdated at the very best. As one begins to more deeply understand the principles of actual philosophical alchemy, and the deeper allegories of the mind that alchemy relays, it is quickly realized that the only way to truly achieve an equilibrium as a human being is to separate the truth from the lies; the good from the bad; or the mercury from the gold. The philosophy of dualism represents the idea that both of these polar opposites can be found to some degree in any physical manifestation, and the true underpinnings of alchemy represent the learning of the ability to extrapolate the healthy, cherished, and golden aspects of all life from the unhealthy, unwanted, mercurial aspects of life.
Clearly, in esoteric philosophy there is both mercury and gold, and this article proposes that political governance, Divine Hierarchy, and Priest-Class Intermediary Theocracy are mercurial, toxic aspects of esoteric philosophy and must be cast aside in order to achieve the alchemical gold, or the anarchist Tao-ness of modern society. And in the physical world, the only way to take the undesired away from the desired is to purge.

Kate Colquhoun, The Sunday Times
An eclectic combination of dictionary, recipe book, travelogue and memoir…Erudite and inspiring, practical and fun, it will make you salivate, laugh, take issue and feel vindicated…Segnit does for flavour what Lucca Turin achieved for scent in Perfumes: The A-Z Guide, but her book should come with a warning: open these pages at the peril of being late for your next appointment. If you care about these things – or even just want to care – you'll need at least three copies: one each for the kitchen, bathroom and bedside table. The Flavour Thesaurus is a deceptively simple little masterpiece, set to take its place by McGee on Food and Cooking as a household Bible.
Nigel Slater, Observer New Review
The books I value most are those I return to again and again. Such has been the case with The Flavour Thesaurus by Niki Segnit (Bloomsbury). It has intrigued, inspired, amused and occasionally infuriated me all year, and will for years to come.
Yotam Ottolenghi, The best cookbooks of all time
Pulling off the trick of being delightful and informative is pretty rare, I find. I love Niki's style of writing – packed with knowledge and information, but conveyed with such a lightness of touch. This is full of ideas for those who don't want a prescriptive approach to recipes.
Nicholas Lezard, The Guardian
This superb book…is not so much a cookbook as an inventory of human inspiration. Or, indeed, even of divine inspiration….As you cannot write with scientific objectivity about taste without risking dullness, the best approach is anecdotal, and this is where Segnit's book is elevated beyond mere usefulness to delight…Even if you know your 4,851 flavour pairings backwards to the point of ennui, or, conversely, have no intention whatsoever of cooking anything in your life, this is still a book that can be read for pleasure alone. It is as if she has made up her mind to do with her prose what her book invites us to do: to make combinations which both surprise and work…everything here is just right.
William Skidelsky, The Observer
A marvellous idea…One of the delights of Segnit's book is the way it combines an air of empirical exactitude with something more loose-limbed and poetic…Segnit is blessed with an ear for figurative language…At the same time, she doesn't stint on the science…throughout the book displays impressive learning.
Kate Winslet, Harper's Bazaar
I'm a huge fan of cookery recipes, and I heartily recommend The Flavour Thesaurus by Niki Segnit. It lists more than 4,000 possible combinations of 99 flavours, with lots of recipes to inspire you.
Ruby Tandoh, The Happy Foodie
My most recent find is Niki Segnit's incredible The Flavour Thesaurus. By explaining flavour combinations, why they work and how they're best put to use, Segnit cleared the path for me to break free of the hackneyed old classics and develop interesting pairings of my own. It's quickly become my cooking bible, the first thing I consult when I'm unsure of myself; the last word on any subject.
Elisabeth Luard, The Scotsman
My own must-have of the year is Niki Segnit's witty, idiosyncratic Flavour Thesaurus: a neat, near-pocket-sized compendium of what-works-with-what with attitude – cumin is fabulous with carrot and beetroot with chocolate is yucky… my feelings exactly.
Fuchsia Dunlop, Financial Times
Wittily written and peppered with fascinating facts and cooking suggestions. With its wide range of sources and inspirations, it has the air of an old-fashioned miscellany. A fun and often eyebrow-raising read.
Atul Kochhar, The Times
The Flavour Thesaurus by Niki Segnit is my favourite book. It has all the elements that allow one to pair the right flavours without making a mess. This book guides one's imagination and creativity to hugely successful results. Follow this book and you will impress your guests like never before.
John Torode, Daily Mail Weekend Magazine
Every cook should own a copy of Niki Segnit's brilliant book The Flavour Thesaurus, which explains why certain foods work well together. With 200 recipe ideas, and 99 ingredients with classic and unusual flavour matches for each, this book will revolutionise your cooking.
Fiona Beckett, Decanter
Endearingly quirky…erudite, original and funny.
Ian Tucker, Observer Food Monthly, The 25 Best Cookbooks of 2010
Something different for your pal with a fridge-full of cookbooks. A forensic yet fun exploration of flavour combinations and why they work, from the usual (lamb and mint) to the unlikely (watermelon and oyster).
This is a genius new approach to cooking; it lists 99 ingredients and the best possible things each goes with. Have some beetroot in your fridge? Look up its entry and find not just the obvious goat's cheese, but also orange, dill, anchovy, coconut, chocolate… Forget formal recipes, it's about experimenting once you know what works together. This will change the lives of both the gleefully imaginative and the trepidatious cook.
Tim Hayward, Times Literary Supplement
Most [of the entries] are garnished with Segnit's sharp observations, and many are little personal essays of informative and inspiring erudition…The Flavour Thesaurus entertains, informs and, most importantly, inspires.
If your food obsession is ready to move to the next level, you need The Flavour Thesaurus … it investigates why certain flavours work so well together (lamb and mint for instance), offers more quirky combos and is the perfect manual for experimental cooks. Anyone for black pudding and chocolate?
The Flavour Thesaurus…contains more than 150 recipes subtly interwoven into Niki Segnit's compelling prose exploring the world of flavour… This imaginative and beautiful little book deserves a place on the shelves of every serious home cook.
Pork and apple, lamb with apricot, chocolate and chilli. When it comes to food there are pairings that are made in heaven and there are flavours that won't go together, however much a chef tries to push the boundaries. Niki Segnit's The Flavour Thesaurus is a compendium of all possible taste partnerships, how they work together and why. We can't wait to test out some of the suggestions, such as goat's cheese and garlic pizza.
Talented cooks know how to put together different flavours in a way that excites the palate. With Niki Segnit's fascinating book The Flavour Thesaurus, we can all take cooking to the next level. This fascinating manual explores appealing combinations, from classic pairings such as pork and apple to the more unusual marriage of beef and lemon.
The Independent 50 Best Cookbooks
This is an anti-recipe book…Once you crack its Roget's Thesaurus organisation, which leads you to thousands of flavour combinations, you'll stumble across so many wonderful suggestions.
Liz Hoggard, Evening Standard
For culinary geeks, the new bible is Niki Segnit's The Flavour Thesaurus, an exquisite guide to flavour combining where she takes 99 popular kitchen ingredients and explains why they work…But she also adds anecdotes about her life that bring the recipes alive…the book is wonderfully poetic.
A Little Bird
Niki Segnit's is a culinary guide to what goes with what. If that sounds a bit drab, don't be fooled. The book is a revelation, whether you are interested in food or not. It is packed with history, literary references, lore, wonderful recipes and personal anecdotes – and is informed by both scholarly knowledge and scrupulous research, all of which it wears lightly. Some of it is very funny. Look up Apple and Blackberry for a laugh; Beef and Liver for a Saul Bellow hit, Pea and Rosemary for a delicious soup recipe or Parsnip and Banana for a little history. Those are just random pickings. Heston Blumenthal has decreed that all his staff must read it. And Segnit is about to start a food column for The Times on the back of it. A fantastic book. A great present too.
Gareth Groves, Bibendum Times
This is a fabulous book: original, witty, insightful and useful…what stops it becoming merely a dry, reference book for food geeks (although the latter will love it) and turns it into something all together more pleasurable is Segnit's delicious prose…In amongst the humour and anecdotes, you'll find plenty of robust history and science. Segnit has clearly done her research. Her gift is to present it in a way that informs and educates whilst making you smile and your belly rumble…Wonderful stuff. Buy the book.
Aram Bakshian, The Wall Street Journal
To savor "The Flavor Thesaurus" fully it helps to think of its author, Niki Segnit, as a culinary marriage broker. An imaginative but practical matchmaker, she has a gift for pairing sometimes lackluster ingredients in a way that brings out the best in them and makes them more appealing as a couple than they ever were as loners…Even experienced home cooks will find much that is new and challenging here…[Niki Segnit] shares an eloquent vocabulary with us in this delicious book.
Regina Schrambling, Epicurious
The smartest, most original compendium I've come across in donkey's years. It's not a formulaic collection of recipes with variations but a rich and witty and erudite collection of suggestions for arranged marriages of the very best kind: food on food…the kitchen equivalent of Match.com.
Stella Parks, Serious Eats
Don't imagine this thesaurus as a dry reference text; trust me, Segnit is a riot…The Flavor Thesaurus is a brilliant refresher for those of us who may have learned…classic flavour pairings in culinary school, but also a delightful crash course for home cooks and bakers still learning the ins and outs of layering flavors in a dish. It's the only book I keep in my kitchen.
Amy Guth, Chicago Tribune
With utmost respect for classic pairings, Segnit boldly considers the chemistry and harmony of flavor and, ventures into unusual combinations for a perfect reference for the aspiring foodie.
Martha Stewart's Whole Living
The cure for dinner ennui…a cheekily erudite, endlessly fascinating master list of flavor pairings both familiar and surprising…the entries get you dreaming of both exotic feasts and after-work comfort foods.
For new cooks and old hands in the kitchen, this book is a must-have and a must-read. Not only are the flavor combinations and recipes offered useful, but Niki Segnit's descriptions of each and every one are delightful to read. It's a combination between a bedtime read and a kitchen companion.
Polly Campbell, Cincinnati Enquirer
One of the most fascinating food books I've come across in a long time.
Fascinating…a smart new reference for what goes with what, along with pithy explanations for why.
Ginny Wolter, Library Journal
[Segnit's] intuitive approach produces a cozy collection of description, anecdotes, and recipes within the flavor combination entries…Segnit's intimate style makes the book enjoyable as well as useful. This handy little guide will be a wonderful addition for cooks trying to expand their repertoire.
Mark Petruska, Sacramento Book Review
An extremely informative and useful encyclopedia for the kitchen…Brown bag lunch moms and foodies alike will find The Flavor Thesaurus an indispensable reference for years to come.
Marie-Claire Digby, Irish Times
A really clever concept…This quirky book is great to dip into for occasional inspiration and education, as well as broadening your culinary repertoire.
John Lethlean, The Australian
The Flavour Thesaurus is unlike any other food book I've seen…Ms Segnit has a delightful turn of phrase…But there is so much substance to go with her style…[The Flavour Thesaurus] could lead to some rather interesting lateral cooking experiments. Strap yourself in. No pictures required.
Nathalie Atkinson, The National Post (Canada)
How I wish I had thought of this book. Segnit offers nearly 1000 combinations around individual entries for 99 different flavours. But the taste profiles and pairings aren't the best part. The mix of science, anthropology and adventuresomeness is. Both an indispensable reference book and bedtime reading for sweet foodster dreams.
Anne Kingston, Macleans Magazine (Canada)
The Flavour Thesaurus passes the great-food-book litmus test: it's equally at home on a kitchen or a bedside table. Segnit's playful prose is witty and erudite, her research, inventive.
Theyiesinuo Keditsu, Morung Express (India)
Those who love reading will agree that every once in a while serendipity brings us in contact with a book, so ingenious, so well written that nothing short of memorizing passages can do it justice. The Flavour Thesaurus is one such book…a thrilling read.
Umapagan Ampikaipakan, The New Straits Times (Malaysia)
Segnit has crafted an absolute wonder of a book….With The Flavour Thesaurus, Segnit has written what is, hands down, one of the most exciting books to grace the cookery section in a very long time. It is unique. It is novel. It is unprecedented. It is a how-to guide. It is a pop-history of the food we eat. It is less of a recipe book as it is a nudge in the right direction. On what goes with what. On why one flavour works with another. On what to do with that globe artichoke that's been lying in your crisper for the last week.

By Khalid Amayreh
Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu has privately voiced his government's worries about the consolidation of "Erdoganism" in Turkey following Sunday's referendum which gave Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan additional powers to rein in the traditionally secular and anti-Islam circles, including the erstwhile sacrosanct Turkish army.
Moreover, the referendum has been viewed as a preview of Erdogan's chances of winning a third term in office at general elections slated to be held in July.
Israel views the Turkish military establishment, which is traditionally aggressively secular and anti-Islamic, as its main ally.
Israel on several occasions tacitly urged the Turkish army to topple elected quasi-Islamic prime ministers such as Necmettin Erbakan in the mid 1990s.
According to the Israeli press, Netanyahu has asked his cabinet to meet in an emergency meeting to discuss the "latest developments" in Turkey.
The sources said Israel was worried that Turkey was further distancing itself from Israel and that the Jewish state was losing its last "stronghold" in Turkey, an allusion to the Turkish military establishment.
It is widely believed that many of the high-ranking officers in the Turkish army are affiliated with the secret Masonic movement, which itself is believed to be controlled by the Zionist movement.
Army generals and a large number of judges, who consider themselves the last defenders and guardians of the secular system, repeatedly tried to undermine Erdogan, often by resorting to plots and using legal tricks.
The voting on Sunday marked the passage of 30 years since the Turkish army carried out a military coup that brought Turkey under three years of military government. Thousands of leftists, nationalists and Kurds were arrested or tortured.
The Turkish constitution, amended under the military government, accorded the military a highly privileged status, preventing civilian authorities from prosecuting high-ranking officers accused of undermining democracy.
The amended constitution also made the army an essential component in the political decision-making process, especially in matters pertaining to national security and international relations.
The new powers accorded to Erdogan allow the Turkish government to annul article 15 of the Turkish constitution which accords the army a sacrosanct status.
Israel has asked US congress, heavily dominated by Jewish lobbies, to pressure Turkey to improve its relations with Israel especially after Israel's genocidal onslaught against the Gaza Strip nearly two years ago.
The bloody blitz, which destroyed much of the coastal enclave and left thousands of Gazan civilians dead and maimed, infuriated the Turkish government and people and led to a serious crisis in relations between Turkey and the Zionist regime.


During my recent trip back to the United States, I stopped not only in my beautiful city of Seattle, but also in San Francisco, for a week of relaxing with loved ones and sight-seeing. I had been to San Francisco's Chinatown a few years before, but the memories were fuzzy, so I made sure to include it on my itinerary this time around.
Chinatown, as to be expected, is certainly unlike the rest of San Francisco. Old men teeter down the streets, the scent of sautéed ginger lingers near restaurant entrances, and street markets offer everything from fake Prada bags to live turtles.
The streets transport you to what one may imagine of population-heavy China: congested, lively and full of sensory surprises.
An essential to-do on my Chinatown list was to stop for some ethnic fare. Hello, Mongolian beef, pot stickers, fried rice, General Tso's chicken and Thai iced-tea!
With a full belly, I continued through Chinatown, snapping shots of the traditionally-styled architecture before moving on to a different SF neighborhood.
It is the largest Chinatown in the world. Well, outside of China itself.
It is the oldest Chinatown in North America.
It draws more visitors than the Golden Gate Bridge.
It is one of the most densely populated neighborhoods not only in San Francisco, but in the entirety of the United States!
Have you ever been to a Chinatown? Where? How does it stack up to San Francisco's?


More than 400 engineers will be mobilised to 11 quake-affected districts within this week for detailed damage assessment, said the government officials. The government move was in response to a condition set by the donors before providing government-pledged funds to quake survivors for reconstructing houses.
The engineers, according to the Central Bureau of Statics (CBS), will be deployed in all quake-affected districts except three districts of Kathmandu Valley this time considering the difficulties of quake survivors in high Himalayas.
Around 450 trained engineers are being deployed in the 11 worst-hit districts within a couple days, according to a senior official at the CBS. "The engineers have already undergone training and they will be mobilised to the districts by Tuesday," said Rudra Suwal, deputy director general at the CBS.
The government has already deployed 130 trained engineers in Dolakha district as surveyors after development partners, which have pledged more than $4 billion for the rebuilding of quake-destroyed houses, questioned the authenticity of details on damages to houses and other infrastructure collected in the immediate aftermath of the April 25 earthquake for the purpose of distributing cash relief to victims.
The CBS has set the target of mobilising some 1,700 trained engineers in all 14 quake-affected districts in association with the local bodies in all villages by mid-February. "The teams will complete their task in 45 days and the whole assessment will be completed by mid-April," said Suwal.
The surveyors deployed with tablets are updating data directly to CBS technicians working at the National Information Centre under the Home Ministry. So far, the surveyors have updated details of 10,000 households from Dolakha.
The National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) has said it would start providing the government announced relief schemes for quake victims in districts after getting a detailed report on damages.
The authority has, however, set the target of starting reconstruction of houses by April 25 coinciding with the first anniversary of the Great Quake. NRA Acting Secretary Madhusudan Adhikari said the authority is holding discussion with Nepal Rastra Bank officials on ways to channel funds for reconstruction in specific villages.
Immediately after the quake, the government had collected details on extent of damages to houses and infrastructure before providing cash relief to quake-displaced households. The government had assumed 570,000 households were rendered homeless, but the number has shot up to 770,000 when the government announced various relief schemes for the quake-affected people.
Having distributed Rs15,000 to each household rendered homeless as immediate cash relief and Rs10,000 as winter relief package, the government has announced another Rs200,000 in aid to each quake affected household. The quake victims will be entitled to a subsidised bank loan to complete rebuild their damaged houses.
Under CBS' guidance, the UN-OPS has mobilised the Health Research and Social Development Forum (HERD) and Kathmandu Living Lab to conduct detailed damage assessments in 14 districts worst hit by the quake. Locals have complained of duplications while collecting details of damaged households and properties, and some cases of genuine victims were left out on the survivors' list.

Die Saison 2016/17 war die 17. Spielzeit seit Gründung der Deutschen Nachwuchsliga, der höchsten Nachwuchsliga im deutschen Eishockey. Seit dieser Saison betrug die Sollstärke der Liga erstmals 16 statt bisher zwölf Teilnehmer. Aufgrund des Rückzugs der HSV Young Freezers gingen jedoch nur 15 Mannschaften an den Start, weshalb in dieser Saison kein Absteiger ermittelt wurde.

Teilnehmer und Modus

Nachdem im Vorjahr eine eingleisige Hauptrunde mit zwölf Teilnehmern gespielt wurde, gab der DEB bekannt, die Liga ab der Saison 2016/17 auf 16 Teams aufzustocken. Nachdem die Hamburg Freezers nicht mehr zum Spielbetrieb der Saison 2016/17 in der DEL gemeldet wurden, schied auch das Team der HSV Young Freezers aus der DNL aus.

Diese Teilnehmer der Vor-Saison 2015/16 nahmen erneut teil:

  Eisbären Juniors Berlin
  Jungadler Mannheim
 Kölner EC
  EC Bad Tölz
  Düsseldorfer EG
  Krefelder EV
  ESV Kaufbeuren
  EV Landshut
 EV Regensburg
 Starbulls Rosenheim
 Augsburger EV

Zudem kamen durch die Aufstockung der Liga vier Teilnehmer aus der DNL2 hinzu:

 ERC Ingolstadt
 ESC Dresden
 Iserlohn Young Roosters
 Schwenninger ERC

Modus
Für einen Sieg nach der regulären Spielzeit wurden einer Mannschaft drei Punkte gutgeschrieben, war die Partie nach 60 Minuten unentschieden, erhielten beide Teams einen Punkt, dem Sieger der fünfminütigen Verlängerung (nur mit vier gegen vier Feldspielern) beziehungsweise nach einem nötigen Penaltyschießen wurde ein weiterer Punkt gutgeschrieben. Verlor eine Mannschaft in der regulären Spielzeit, erhielt sie keine Punkte.

In der Vorrunde wurde in zwei Gruppen (A und B) jeweils eine Einfachrunde (12 respektive 14 Spiele pro Mannschaft) ausgetragen. Die ersten vier Mannschaften jeder Gruppe qualifizierten sich für Gruppe Rot, alle weiteren für Gruppe Blau. Anschließend wurde in der Hauptrunde innerhalb der Gruppen Rot und Blau eine Doppelrunde jeder gegen jeden gespielt (28 bzw. 24 Spiele pro Mannschaft). Die nach dem Abschluss der Hauptrunde auf den Plätzen 1 bis 4 liegenden Mannschaften der Gruppe Rot waren für das Viertelfinale der Playoffs qualifiziert. Die Platzierten 5 bis 8 der Gruppe Rot, sowie die Platzierten 1 bis 4 der Gruppe Blau ermittelten in einer Playoff-Runde vier weitere Teilnehmer für das Viertelfinale (Best of Three). Die Sieger des Viertelfinals nahmen am Endturnier um die Deutsche Meisterschaft teil. Für die Mannschaften, die nach der Hauptrunde die Plätze 5 bis 7 der Gruppe Blau belegten, war die Saison beendet.
