Match results are drawn from [https://www.rsssf.org/engpaul/FLA/1938-39.html The Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation] website and Rothmans for the First Division and from Rothmans for the Second Division and for the two Third Divisions.
Beginning with the season 1894–95, clubs finishing level on points were separated according to goal average (goals scored divided by goals conceded), or more properly put, goal ratio. In case one or more teams had the same goal difference, this system favoured those teams who had scored fewer goals, if the teams had a positive goal difference. The goal average system was eventually scrapped beginning with the 1976–77 season.
From the 1922–23 season, the bottom two teams of both Third Division North and Third Division South were required to apply for re-election.
