The Ties scored are 1 for a win and ½ for a draw. The ties against are deducted from the ties won to give the total ties won. In the event of two teams scoring the same number of points at the end of the season, the winning team is decided by the team with the most total ties won. In the event of total ties won being the same, a Team play-off will be held at a neutral venue. |
