All remaining games for the season have been cancelled however playoffs were given the go ahead.

The resolution sees the table based on a points per game basis with the top teams crowned champions and promoted in each division.

Clubs finishing between second and seventh in each division will be invited to take part in playoffs if the motion is passed and agreed upon by the National League and then ratified by the FA Council.

Because of the financial costs of participating, and getting no matchday revenue, clubs will be able to decline taking part.

The results of the vote, needed a 51 per cent majority to pass and if a majority is not reached then the campaign could be null and void.

There will be no relegations from the North and South divisions but, if ratified, three teams will drop out of the National League.
