League structure
The 2020 Ladies' National Football League consists of three divisions of eight teams and one of seven. Each team plays every other team in its division once. 3 points are awarded for a win and 1 for a draw.
If two teams are level on points, the tie-break is:
winners of the head-to-head game are ranked ahead
if the head-to-head match was a draw, then whichever team scored more points in the game is ranked ahead (e.g. 1-15 beats 2-12)
if the head-to-head match was an exact draw, ranking is determined by the points difference (i.e. total scored minus total conceded in all games)
if the points difference is equal, ranking is determined by the total scored If three or more teams are level on league points, rankings are determined solely by points difference.
The top two teams in Division 1 contest the Ladies' National Football League final.
The top two teams in divisions 2, 3 and 4 contest the finals of their respective divisions. The division champions are promoted.
The last-placed teams in divisions 1, 2 and 3 are relegated.
