Competition format

The top four teams at the end of the regular season (after all the teams played one another once) enter a knockout stage to decide the Champions of Tahiti. This consists of two rounds. The semi-finals, with the losers meeting for 3rd place and with the winners meeting in the final at the Stade Fautaua in Pirae.

Tahiti's bonus point system operates as follows:

  • 4 points for a win.
  • 2 points for a draw.
  • 1 point for a loss.
  • No point for a forfeit.
  • 1 bonus point for scoring at least 4 tries (or more).
  • 1 bonus point for losing by 7 points (or fewer).
