Both groups follow the same points system, and that system decides not just where a club sits today but also who advances to the business end of the competition.
How the CFL Points System Works
The Calcutta Football League uses the same points system found across most football leagues, and it’s built to reward positive, attacking football rather than defensive draws.
- A win earns a club 3 points, a draw earns 1 point for each side, and a loss earns 0 points.
- When two or more clubs finish level on points, goal difference becomes the first tiebreaker.
- If goal difference also ends up level, goals scored takes precedence over goals conceded.
- Head to head results between tied clubs can factor in as well, depending on IFA regulations for that specific tie.
This system rewards clubs who chase goals rather than settle for narrow wins, which explains why some sides with fewer matches still climb above others with a game or two in hand.
Qualification and the Super Six Race
Finishing well in the group stage matters because only a portion of each group moves on to the part of the season that actually decides the champion.
- The top three clubs from Group A and the top three from Group B qualify for the Super Six championship round.
- Matches in the Super Six determine the eventual Calcutta Football League Premier Division champion.
- Clubs who miss out on the Super Six continue playing out their group fixtures for mid table finishes and safety from the drop.
- Sides finishing at the bottom of either group face the prospect of relegation to a lower division the following season.

Getting into that top three bracket in either group is the difference between chasing a title and simply seeing out the campaign, which is exactly why FootballMint tracks this points table so closely.
