===Divisional Split===
This table includes data captured very early in the season (Oct 10), which is prior to season's start (apart from =VeCToR=). Replacement teams did arrive: BlairWitch, Entrapment, )(Master)(, The Storms & =VeCToR=. At this point only =VeCToR='s slot position can be calculated.
In addition to being the actual names of the conferences in this case, references have also been seen to treat Hercules and Zeus as a play-offs format. As it seems possible that Hercules Conference this season was a lower-tier grouping, with its winners not proceeding to challenge that of Zeus, perhaps the format known as Herc/Zeus refers to an upper and lower hierarchal approach to segregation.
Hercules 	Hercules 	Zeus 	Zeus
Odysseus 	Perseus 	Apollo 	Poseidon

==Results==
===Regular Season===
It was reported that the Regular Season for the Hercules Conference was two rounds longer than that for the other(s?). This seems to have been the result of teams departing the league mid-season, and also necessitated a change to the Play-Offs format.Source: Underlord's News Archive.

Round 7 aka Pre-Playoff (Hercules Conference) Round - December 9 & 10, 2000 :Source: Subspacedotnet @ Blogspot
Sudden death elimination knockout apparently to handle a discrepancy between the number of teams in the two conferences. These games seem to be intended to reduce "Herc" to a manageable size entering play-offs. Matches were single-elimination unless if the margin was less than 6 kills, in which case the clash converted to a best-of-three.

Brotherhood v BUNNER
-BlitZed- v The Orgy (best of 3)Why a regular season match was a best-of-three, is difficult to determine, but the clash was listed as such on the source website. This may have been a makeup of a 'pre-playoffs round' (Round 7), which would go to best-of-three if the first result was within 6 kills.
===Play-Offs===
Due to a disparity in the number of rounds between conferences, Hercules Conference would hold separate play-offs distinct from the rest, with the winners joining into the remainder of the play-offs system. The format as described is difficult to interpret from the source."Hercules conference teams have 2 more rounds to play (probably after rd 5). After that a round for makeup matches. Hercules conference will have playoffs of their own and the top Hercules teams will have matches against lower Zeus teams to compete for the final playoffs. It is conceivable that some teams will have 2 matches in a single weekend." Source: Underlord's News Archive.
Teams not featuring in the play-offs were The Storms and Llamasery.

Symphony def DAMN_Yankees (possibly played at a later dateThere is reference to a match or series between DAMN_Yankees and Symphony. The date corresponds to a Tuesday. While the clash was referred to as the AML Championship, it is difficult to see how the label was not erroneous. It is more likely that this was a postponed Semi-Final.

Hercules Conference Finals - February 4, 2001
This final seemed to be isolated from the rest of the competition - The winner had no apparent opportunity to continue on and contest the AML Championship.

Final - February 4, 2001 :
For some reason this final was treated as the culmination of all play-offs. Secret, the winners of Hercules Conference', did not enjoy an opportunity to proceed forward and compete for the league championship.
