Does goal difference have any bearing on the league? I thought that if equal on points, the place went to the better results between the two teams in question (though I guess that goal difference would be the contingency to that?)

They change it so often I have no idea what the decider will be this season if that's the case, but it has been down to goal difference in the past and it has been down to series record in the past.

It's hasn't changed for years!

results between tied teams
then GD
then Goals Quotient (GF/GA)

Both those for the series between the tied teams only

if still a draw I believe its then the overall GD, GQ

Has the league ever been settled on anything other than points?....can't recall a tie at the top?

[yabba-dabba-doo]

Nope - closest was 2001/2002 when Invicta beat Solihull by 1 point. Other than that 4 points has been the closest in 2006/2007 (Bees beat Scims) and 2003/2004 (MK beat Potty)

in 1996/1997 though the English League Div 1 North ended in a tie - Kingston and Altringham. Kingston won title despite having worse GD

I believe the first season that MK Kings played Qxford beat them to the top by one goal differance.

It was even closer than that. According to the MKKings archive site, this was the top of the table.

Oxford City Stars 28 23 5 0 46 242 111 262
