2014 Championship 1 season results
This is a list of the 2014 Championship 1 season results. Championship 1 is the third-tier rugby league competition in the United Kingdom. The 2014 season starts on 2 March with the Grand Final at Leigh Sports Village in Leigh, Greater Manchester.
The 2014 season consists of two stages. The regular season was played over 18 round-robin fixtures, in which each of the nine teams involved in the competition played each other once at home and once away. This means that teams will play 16 games and will have two bye-rounds, where they will not play a game. In the Championship 1, a win was worth three points in the table, a draw worth two points apiece, and a loss by less than 12 points during the game earned one bonus point. Defeats by more than 12 points yielded no points.
At the end of the regular season, due to restructuring the teams who finish the regular season between first and fifth will enter the play-offs with the winner claiming promotion.
