League structure

edit

The 2016 National Football League consisted of four divisions of eight teams. Each team played every other team in its division once, usually four home and three away or three home and four away. Two points were awarded for a win and 1 for a draw.

Tie-breaker

edit

If only two teams were level on league points:

  • The team that won the head-to-head match was ranked first
  • If this game was a draw, score difference (total scored minus total conceded in all games) was used to rank the teams
  • If score difference was identical, total scored was used to rank the teams
  • If still identical, a play-off was required

If three or more teams were level on points, score difference was used to rank the teams.

Finals, promotions and relegations

edit

Division 1

The top four teams in Division 1 contest the National Football League semi-finals (first plays fourth and second plays third) with the winners progressing to the final. The bottom 2 teams are relegated to Division 2.
