The Championship uses the same order as the Betway Premiership (NSL Handbook Rule 8.2):
- Goal difference in all league matches
- Goals scored in all league matches
- Head-to-head between the tied clubs: points, then goal difference, then goals scored in their matches against each other
- If some clubs are still level, head-to-head is applied again to only those clubs, repeated as far as it goes
- If still tied, a play-off at a neutral venue chosen by the League
Goal difference and goals scored are applied before head-to-head results.
