In the main round, each of the ten teams played a total of 36 games. The eight best-placed teams qualified for the second phase of the season. This was carried out in two groups of four teams each, with the first two in each group qualified for the playoffs in which the champions were played. The four winners in the main round received one or two bonus points. The last two placed in the main round had to compete in the relegation against the two best second division teams. Each team received two points for a win, one point for a draw and zero points for a defeat.
