NRRRL 2026 First Grade Points System
The NRRRL uses a standard rugby league competition points system to determine ladder positions throughout the season.
- A win awards 2 competition points
- A draw awards 1 competition point to each team
- A loss awards 0 competition points
- A bye awards 2 competition points when applicable
- Competition officials may reschedule postponed or cancelled matches or record them as no result, depending on the competition rules.
- The competition uses points differential (Points For minus Points Against) as the primary tiebreaker when two or more teams finish level on competition points.
- If teams remain level on points differential, the competition may apply additional tiebreakers, such as head-to-head record or total Points For.
How the NRRRL 2026 First Grade Ladder Works
Each column in the standings table captures a different element of a team’s season record.
- Played (P) is the total number of completed matches
- Wins (W), Draws (D) and Losses (L) record match outcomes
- Byes (B) track any rounds where a team did not have a scheduled opponent
- Points For (F) is the total points a team has scored across all matches
- Points Against (A) is the total points conceded
- Points Difference (PD) is Points For minus Points Against, providing a measure of overall scoring dominance
- Points (Pts) is the total competition points that determine ladder position
The NRRRL ladder tracks every club’s season across 14 teams in the Northern Rivers.
