Some of the play-off rules
Firstly the promotion semi-finals - if aggregate scores are level after 90 minutes of the 2nd leg, "silver goal" extra time applies. If still level, then the usual penalty shoot-out separates the sides. At no point does an "away goal counts extra" rule apply.
Secondly the promotion final - The promotion final is a single leg on a neutral ground. Silver goal and penalties apply as tie-breakers if necessary.
Thirdly how are the receipts split - For the semi-finals, the net gate receipts are divided equally among the participating clubs, after deduction of allowable expenses and an unspecified levy to the Conference.
The visiting club in each match is entitled to 10% of the ticket allocation, or a minimum of 600 were that's greater.
For the final, the clubs act as agents for the Conference, and ticket fees go to a central pot. The money left after expenses and a levy for the Conference is split between the participating clubs. TV income is accounted for separately, and goes straight to the Conference.
