How the NBC Premier League Table Works
The league table ranks teams according to their performance in the competition. Points are awarded using the standard football system:
- 3 points for a win
- 1 point for a draw
- 0 points for a loss
Teams with the highest number of points move to the top of the table. If two or more teams have the same number of points, the ranking is determined by:
- Goal difference
- Goals scored
- Head-to-head results
This system ensures that the most consistent teams throughout the season stay at the top of the standings.
