Regular season

mode

The twelve teams of the Elitserien initially played against each other in 50 season games. The clubs were divided into three regional groups during the preliminary round, with the teams from the respective “derby groups” playing more games against each other than against teams from the other groups. The first eight teams of the preliminary round competed against each other in the play-offs, the season was over for the teams in places 9 and 10, the last two teams had to compete in the Kvalserien .

A win in regular time earned a team three points. In the event of a tie after regular time, extra time was played in which the winner received two points and the loser received one point. If it was still a draw after extra time, a penalty shoot-out was played with the same points as in extra time.
