National League
The National League, is a Wilfranese professional league for men's association football clubs. At the top of the wilfranese football league system, it is the country's primary football competition. Contested by 20 clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the Acess League.

There are 20 clubs in the National League. During the course of a season (from May to December) each club plays the others twice (a double round-robin system), once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents, for a total of 38 games. Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, victories, goal difference, and goals scored. At the end of each season, the club with the most points is crowned champion. If points are equal between two or more clubs, the rules are.

If the tie is between more than two clubs not disputing the national title or relegation, then the tie is broken, using the games the clubs have played against each other:


 * Most amount of games won
 * Total goal difference
 * Total goals scored
 * Head-to-head record (with the away goals rule in effect if only two clubs are taken into account)

If the tie is still not broken, the winner will be determined by Fair Play scales.


 * Least amount of yellow cards
 * Least amount of red cards

If there is a tie for the championship, for relegation, or for qualification to other competitions, the Fair Play scales will not be taken into account; a play-off match at a neutral venue decides rank. Otherwise, a drawing of lots will determine the final positions.

A system of promotion and relegation exists between the National League and the Acess League. The four lowest placed teams in the National League are relegated to Acess League, and the top four teams from the Acess League promoted to the National League.

The Cup is an opportunity for teams from smaller states to play against the big teams and episodes of giant-killing have happened at a regular rate throughout the competition history.
