Baskent Yildizlari is Turkish League champion

Baskent Yildizlari from Ankara wins its third consecutive Turkish League title taking advantage of a strange play-offs format
For the playoffs, the top 4 teams in the league (Baskent, Izmir, Kocaeli, and Erzurum) keep the regular season points from the games between themselves. So Baskent had 18 points, Izmir had 12 points, and Kocaeli and Erzurum had 3 points each. Then every team plays each other twice, total of 6 games.
So Baskent only needed to win any 2 games and beat Izmir in one of the two games against them. If Baskent did and lost everything else, would be tied with Izmir, but win on the tie breaker of head to head total wins.
So on March 30th, Baskent played and beat Izmir 6-3 in Kocaeli. After that, none of the games actually mattered, including the last one, a kind of playoffs final, when Izmir beats Baskent 8-6

Baskent Slovakian forward Dennis Legersky was the League top scorer with 75 points (42 goals, 33 assists)
