There are two groups, Group A and Group B, which have five teams each.
GROUP STAGE:
In the group stage, each team will have 14 games to them where one team will face the other four teams in the same group twice on one home and one away game basis, and the other four teams from the other group once, and the remaining team two times. To determine the teams that will play the teams from other group once or twice, there was a random draw.
To simplify, each of the teams from one group plays the teams in the same row and same column twice and all others once. For instance, Deccan Chargers will play Delhi Daredevils, Kings XI Punjab, Mumbai Indians, Pune Warriors India (all from same column) and Kolkata Knight Riders two times (one home and one away basis) and Kochi Tuskers Kerala, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings one time each.

Group A | Group B |
Deccan Chargers | Kolkata Knight Riders |
Delhi Daredevils | Kochi Tuskers Kerala |
Kings XI Punjab | Royal Challengers Bangalore |
Mumbai Indians | Rajasthan Royals |
Pune Warriors India | Chennai Super Kings |
This way, Deccan chargers play four teams from Group A and one team from Group B twice (10 matches) and four teams from Group B once (4 matches).
PLAY-OFF ROUND
Play-off round will have four matches including the final. The first play-off will be between the top two teams from the group stage. The winner of this playoff, also called Qualifier 1, will go straight to the finals. While the loser will still have a chance to qualify for the finals as it will participate in the third playoff match with the winner of the second play-off or the Eliminator.
The Eliminator will be played between the third and fourth teams from the group stage and the winner will qualify to play with the loser of Qualifier 1 . Here, in Eliminator, the losing team won't get another chance and will be out of the contention of final.
The third play-off, or the Qualifier 2, will be contested between the loser of the Qualifier 1 and the winner of the Eliminator. The winner of this match would play the winner of Qualifier 1 in the final.
This format gives the best and the second best teams two chances to reach the finals unlike the semifinal formats where the best teams may get knocked out in one match.
