 2022-23 Tarperti Premier League | |
The Tarperti Premier League (legally: TFF 1st Division Football League) is the topmost tier of the Tarperti football league system. Organised directly by the Tarperti Football Federation, the league is contested annually by eighteen teams and maintains a system of promotion and relegation with the Championship, the second tier.
Originally created as the 1st Football League (1924-1960), the division was also known as League One (1960-1991) and the National Football Prize (1991-2004), before being reintroduced in its current form at the start of the 2004-05 season.
Format
Competition
Eighteen clubs compete in the league annually. Each club plays every other club once at home and once away. Teams are ranked by a points system, with teams earning three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss.
If teams are level on points, tie-breakers are applied in the following order:
- Goal difference for the entire season
- Total goals scored for the entire season
- Head-to-head results (total points)
- Head-to-head goals scored
- Head-to-head away goals scored
- Total away goals scored for the entire season
If two clubs are still tied after all of these tie-breakers have been applied, a single match is held at a neutral site to determine the placement. However, this has never been necessary in the history of the Premier League.
Each season, the two lowest ranking teams are automatically relegated to the Championship, replaced by the latter’s top two. The third-to-last club in the league then participates in a two legged play-off match with the third-placed team of the National League, with the winner taking a spot in the following Premier league season.
History
The league was created by the TFF in 1924 as a governmental mandate to create a national football league as required in the recently passed National Fitness Legislation. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Football Leagues were established and replaced six regional leagues as the professional tier of Tarperti football. During the regional era, the six regional champions contested in a knock-out play-off to determine the national champions. Today the Regional Leagues are the fifth tier of Tarperti Football.
In order to start the Premier League, clubs from all six regional leagues were invited to apply for TFF membership during in the summer of 1924, with 78 shortlisted for the competition on the basis of financial and sporting criteria.
Since its inaugural season the League has fluctuated between 16 and 20 clubs, with the current 18 clubs being decided after the 1991-92 season. The League has only suspended competition twice, those times being from 1939-1945 due to the Second World War; the other time being the 2000-01 and 2001-02 seasons due to the Civil War. The League was also prepared to suspend competition during the two Covenant Wars from 1950-60 and 1965-75, but chose to play on.

Honours
In 1975, the honour of "distinguished clubs" was introduced where sides that have won multiple championships display stars on their team badges and jerseys. In Tarper a club must put a copper star for each championship and up to four championships, at the fifth championship the copper star is replaced by a single silver star, no other stars are added until the tenth championship when a single gold star is added from there the club must add a gold star for every ten championships.
The TFF refuses to recognize championships before the 1924-25 inaugural season of the Premier League. This led to a controversy in the 80's where several clubs in the top three tiers added stars to in honour of past league championships. The TFF and TFL threatened the clubs with forceful relegation and perhaps expulsion from the league system. The debate went on for two more years and ended when the clubs chose to abide by the Association's Rules.
The following clubs have been officially allowed to wear stars while playing in the league system. The number in parentheses is for Premier League titles won.
