The LNR uses a slightly different bonus points system from that used in most other rugby competitions.

It trialled a new system in 2007–08 explicitly designed to prevent a losing team from earning more than one bonus point in a match,[2] a system that also made it impossible for either team to earn a bonus point in a drawn match.

[3] France's bonus point system operates as follows:[3] If teams are level at any stage, tiebreakers are applied in the following order: Normally, the teams that finish in 13th and 14th places in the table are relegated to Pro D2 at the end of the season.

In certain circumstances, "financial reasons" may cause a higher placed team to be demoted instead.
