Transferred Out after this season; (L) = last season in MQL (to date); (B) =
player took a Break after this season; (R) = player Returned this season after a

Please note: except in seasons 1988–9, 1994–5 and 1995–6, the Average
column gives the average score for the games that counted towards the season's total – i.e. 12 games in a league of nine teams, 11
games in a league of eight, and so on. The number of games that counted is given in the Counting column. In the three seasons
cited as exceptions, the Average is the average score for all games. (In the case of the 1988–9 season, this is because the figures are
for the half–way stage of the season.)
