The 2001 County Championship was the 103rd season of national first class cricket competition in England and Wales . It was held in two divisions, Division 1 and Division 2. Division 1 was won by Yorkshire , thus reaching their sixth county championship. Relegated from Division 1 were Northamptonshire , Glamorgan and Essex , which were replaced in the following 2002 season by the top three of Division 2, Sussex , Hampshire and Warwickshire .

format

The 18 First Class Counties were divided into two divisions according to the results of the 2000 season . In each division, each team played one home and one away game against each other. A team received 12 points for a win and 6 points for a draw (both teams achieve the same number of runs). If no result is achieved and the game ends in a draw, both teams get 4 points. In addition, there is the possibility of collecting bonus points in the first 130 overs of the first inning . Up to 5 points are awarded for runs and up to 3 points for wickets. Furthermore, it is possible that teams are deducted points if, for example, they play too slowly or the pitch is not properly prepared. At the end of the season, the winner of Division 1 is County Champion, the last three in this division are relegated and the top three in Division 2 are promoted.
