The 2001 Conference comprised of six regional divisions. In addition to playing the other teams in their division, each team played four "crossover" games - i.e. two home and two away game against teams from another division. For the 2001 season, Ipswich played Oxford and West London, home and away as their crossover games. At the end of the season a play-off series took place between the two top placed teams in all divisions, culminating in the Grand Final.
