How the NPL points table works
The league stage has 28 matches, and every team plays the other seven teams once. The top four teams in the table qualify for the playoffs, which are Qualifier 1, the Eliminator, Qualifier 2 and the final. A win earns a team two points, while a tie or no result earns one point. If two or more teams finish level on points, net run rate decides their order in the table.
