League and season

A series has 14 clubs playing one another once across 13 Sunday rounds. The table is recalculated from completed fixtures; it is not an editable ranking snapshot.

When two clubs sit close on points, their meeting can decide the title. Read the opponent’s previous reports and answer the plan they actually played. A much stronger squad does not become equal just because of a tactic.

Green positions promote and red positions relegate only when the season transition runs. At a single-series professional boundary, the lower division’s top two exchange automatically with the upper division’s bottom two, and week 14 plays two promotion/relegation qualifiers — upper 11th against lower 4th and upper 12th against lower 3rd — where a challenger win creates a further swap. The table colouring reflects the live rule for that level.

• Movement does not occur when a club temporarily enters a coloured place mid-season.
• The season transition waits for the week-14 qualifier winners before it runs.
• Champions would move up from multi-series divisions; every professional division currently runs a single series, so that rule waits for the amateur tiers.
• The season transition also creates the next competition membership and schedule.
• The World page shows the parent and child levels around the current series.

Completed positions, honours, trophies and player totals are stored from finished competition data. Deleted or departed identities do not cause current squad values to be invented as historical facts.
