What happens if today's National League vote is passed and what would the National League North table look like via points per game?

Clubs from the three National League divisions today voted on how to end the season.

The 68 teams had until 5pm to back or refute the current resolution on the table.

These proposals would include ending the campaign via a points per game basis and the top sides in each division securing promotion as champions.

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

Due to the financial costs of participating, clubs will be able to decline taking part. Teams would have to fund the costs of staging the match at a neural venue and COVID-19 testing, taking players off furlough leave but receiving no gate receipts.

Boston United chairman David Newton announced the Pilgrims were backing the proposals and would take part in play-offs... even if promotion meant having to complete three, rather than two, stands of their Jakemans Community Stadium development in time for next season.

The results of the vote, which needs a 51 per cent majority to pass, are due to be released tomorrow (Thursday). If a majority is not reached then the campaign could be declared null and void.

If this is the case then it is expected King's Lynn will be promoted as champions with York City, Boston United, Brackley Town, Altrincham, Chester and Gateshead being invited to take part in play-offs.

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