2 points for a win
Goal Average (GA) applies if teams are level on points.
Goal average = number of goals scored divided by the number of goals conceded.
As from the 1905/06 season the First Division was to be increased from 18 to 20 teams. This allowed both Bury and Notts County to avoid relegation and remain in the first division.
