Division Two (B) and Division Three (A): Played as a double round-robin.[ 8]
All other groups: Single Round-Robin. Each team played every other team in its division (or group where the division is split) once, either home or away. Teams in all four divisions competed for the National Football League title.
Teams that did not qualify for the inter-divisional play-offs completed for the Supplementary League Title. There was a severe lack of interest in this league, with considerable delays in organising fixtures in the Southern section.[ 9] [ 10]
