For the 2000 – 01 Season, the teams were split into 2 Conferences – The Northern & Southern.

At the end of the regular season, the teams with the most points in their Conference was crowned as Conference Winners.

If points are equal between two or more teams then head-to-head results between said teams are used to determine the winners. In the case of a tie between multiple teams where this does not break the tie, the winners are then determined by the points difference in the games between teams.

Following the completion of the Championship regular season, the top four teams in each Conference advanced into the post-season Play-offs.
