Introduction

It is pretty apparent that Football One has progressed over these 7 to 8 years, for the better.

Scoring is also similar to how international matches are scored, because a win is awarded 3 points, 1 point for a draw and obviously a 0 is given in case a loss is incurred. When the League progresses to the end a selective criteria determines the rank of all the teams, on the basis of total points, goals scored and their differences. In some cases, when there are equal scores and making this decision seems a bit difficult, another play-off competitive match is scheduled to reach a conclusion. In most cases, the top 6 teams in the Football One are promoted to the Football League Championship, whereas the last four bottom teams are relocated to Football League Two and are replaced by the mediocre teams in the previous division. Some of the winners of Football One include Luton Town, Swansea City, Norwich City and Southend United. As its apparent the system of determining the best teams is rather comprehensive yet meticulous, so only those with superior skills can make it through. These matches are broadcasted live on various TV channels including Sky Sports and BBC One even have their own show called The Football League Show which makes it easier to view the highlights of all the recent matches held.
