Format

League structure

The 2017 National Football League consists of four divisions of eight teams. Each team plays every other team in its division once, usually four home and three away or three home and four away. 2 points are awarded for a win and 1 for a draw.

Tie-breaker

If only two teams are level on league points:

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

If three or more teams are level on league points, score difference is used to rank the teams.
