No if they were all washed out it would've been deemed as games not played. As per the rules if not all games are played than PPG is taken into consideration to determine final standings if the team winning the unplayed games would put them above on points. Doesn't matter if they were ahead or behind. PPG is only used if not all games are played and the results over those unplayed games would result in them finishing above, if it does then PPG is taken into account. If all games had been played then if even on points it goes to who got the most points against the team they are tied against. If that is even then it goes to the club with the highest goal difference and then the club with the most goals and then the club with the least cards.

Had Adamstown played those final two games and lost both (very unlikely) then since when Adamstown and NIAS played each other they had 1 win and 1 draw each then it would go to goal difference which would be NIAS going up. It was in Adamstown interests to not even play the U13s since their PPG was already higher.

If they don't then Adamstown has had their year grace and according to Northern if you don't have 5 youth teams you can't be in NPL, will Northern follow their rules and also relegate Adamstown if they fail to field 5 teams next year.
