The tournament was divided into a preliminary round and a final round. The eight participating teams first played a simple round-robin tournament . The first four played for the title in Poule Haute , the last four in Poule Basse against relegation. The total of the team points (1 point for a win, 0.5 points for a draw, 0 points for a defeat), then the number of board points (1 point for a win, 0.5 points for a draw) decided the placement , 0 points for a loss). For the final placement, both the points from the preliminary round and the points from the final round were taken into account.
Game dates
The competitions were held on October 4, November 18, December 2 and 16, 2001, January 6 and 20, February 3 and 24, March 3 and 17, 2002.
While Bonnevoie had regularly played a clear lead in the preliminary round in previous years, this time they only went into the final round thanks to the better board points ahead of Dudelange, and Differdange also had realistic chances for the title, as they were only half a point behind. Bonnevoie drew from Echternach right at the beginning of the final round, but defeated his two competitors in the title fight and thus defended the title.
The relegation battle remained exciting until the end. Before the last round, Differdange's second team had already secured relegation, while Belvaux, Nordstad and Dommeldange-Beggen were tied with 2 points each. Nordstad and Dommeldange-Beggen separated 4: 4, which meant relegation for both, as Belvaux prevailed against Differdange's second team.
