The NRL's McIntyre system has been scrapped in favour of the AFL finals system for the 2012 season.
The competition will now split the top four and the bottom four finalists into separate pools in week one.
With the new format each of the top four teams needs to win two finals matches to reach the grand final, while the bottom four ranked teams must win three.
The minor premiers and second-placed team are each guaranteed two home games.
Under the McIntyre system, the eight finalists were seeded so that the top four played the bottom four, but clubs complained there was insufficient reward for finishing in the top four.
