League system

Professional football in Lannistter follows a hierarchical league system with each level of competition promoting and relegating teams to the next higher and lower levels based on their performance. There is a total of 239 clubs playing within the league system in six levels of competition. Each league and division uses a double round-robin system with each club playing every other club twice. Three points are awarded for each win and one point awarded for a tie. Teams are ranked first by total points, then by goal difference, then by total goals scored.
