LEAGUE TABLE PLACINGS: As permitted by Code 11.1(e)(iii) GAA Official Codes 2026, League Table placings in all Adult and Underage Championship Competitions shall be determined as follows:. Where Teams finish with equal points for Qualification for the Concluding Stages, for placings on a Competition League Table, or for Promotion or Relegation, the tie shall be decided by the following means and in the order specified: (i). (ii). Team with least number of walkovers given. Where two Teams only are involved - the outcome of the meeting of the two Teams in the previous game(s) in the Competition. (iii). Where three or more teams are involved - the Team (if any) which defeated each of the other Teams on equal points in the previous games in the Competition. 10 \| Page (iv). Scoring Difference from the game(s) in which only the teams involved (teams tied or points) have played each other (subtracting the value of the total Scores Against fron the value of the total Scores For). V).-Highest number of Total Scores For, from the game(s) in which only the tear involved (teams tied on points) have played each other: (vi) Highest number of Goals Scored For, from the game(s) in which only the teams involved (teams tied on points) have played each other. (vii) Scoring difference (subtracting the value of the total Scores Against from the value of the total Scores For) across all games played in the Competition (viii) A Play-Off Because the two teams drew , it comes down to goals scored in the game. It used to come down to total amount of scores but since the introduction of two pointer that can't be recorded anymore. Total score difference seems to be last port of call now. Which is mad - but this is how it was done so we can quell the rumours of anyone conceding Paidi04 (Westmeath) - Posts: 37 - 24/09/2026 23:10:54 2694948 Link
Replying To Azteca: "I heard it's because of some bizarre rule where because Cashel scored more goals in the head to head fixture between them and Killoe, that Killoe now cannot overtake Cashel in the table." I have never in all my days heard of such a rule. LongfordgaaAbú (Longford) - Posts: 707 - 25/09/2026 00:46:42 2694956 Link
Replying To LongfordgaaAbú: "I have never in all my days heard of such a rule." It was used to decide the placings in the Minor A championship, Carrick/Sarsfields Kenagh drew with Dromard and finished first in the table as they had score more goals in the drawn game. Strange rule would be better to use score difference Clonbonnyrabbitt (Longford) - Posts: 157 - 25/09/2026 10:07:17 2694965 Link
I see the county board put out a statement on the relegation table places there today (someone must be keeping an eye on this forum). It would be very helpful if they would publish their competition rules each year. The rule is still mad! LongfordgaaAbú (Longford) - Posts: 707 - 25/09/2026 11:24:55 2694979 Link
To be fair the rules and regulations are on their website Rockshorecider (Longford) - Posts: 87 - 25/09/2026 13:49:46 2695010 Link
Replying To LongfordgaaAbú: "I see the county board put out a statement on the relegation table places there today (someone must be keeping an eye on this forum). It would be very helpful if they would publish their competition rules each year. The rule is still mad!" That is published on the website. I have heard this could be getting messy, that Killoe are taking this further on the grounds of being relegated by this crazy method. As the final round has not been played, there is no guarantee that they would end level on points. The county board will then have to rearrange these games at a later date! liosbreac6265 (Longford) - Posts: 307 - 25/09/2026 16:08:09 2695038 Link
