There was an innovation in the relegation system: After the two bottom of the table were always relegated directly, a relegation has now been introduced. The table seventh played against the second-best second division team. For 1937 this meant that Vaasa IFK and Vaasan PS played against each other in the relegation . The Vaasan PS was able to prevail in this derby after a 2: 2 in the first leg just 3: 2 against Vaasa IFK and thus rose.
