First round

In the first round of the season, the twelve clubs played for the placements, according to which the teams were divided into two groups of six teams each in the second half of the season.

The six best-placed clubs reached the championship round, the teams in places seven to twelve play against relegation. In the individual groups, the number of points achieved in each of the 22 games in the preliminary round was transferred, so that the respective second round could only cause minor changes depending on the table situation.

In the event of a tie, the direct comparison was initially decisive for the placement .
