In the first round of the season, the 14 clubs played for the placements, the result of which in the second half of the season formed the basis for a division of the teams into two groups of six teams each.

The six best-placed clubs reached the championship round, the teams in places seven to twelve play against relegation. The teams in 13th and 14th were relegated directly. In the individual groups, the points achieved in each case from the 22 games of the preliminary round are transferred, so that the respective second round can sometimes cause minor changes depending on the table situation.
