Playouts
The playout games were originally supposed to take place in a round of four with return games from the two losers in the pre-playoffs, the eleventh of the regular round and the champions of the second-rate I-league . However, the league eleven Polonia Bytom did not appear in the games that were already scheduled, so that all of his games were rated 0: 5 as lost. Therefore, only the following games were played:
- Zagłębie Sosnowiec - Orlik Opole 6: 2
- Orlik Opole - Naprzód Janów 3: 5
- Naprzód Janow - Zagłębie Sosnowiec 1: 2
- Orlik Opole - Zagłębie Sosnowiec 1: 8
- Naprzód Janow - Orlik Opole 4: 5
Since Orlik Opole could no longer overtake Naprzód Janów due to the direct comparison, the qualification of Zagłębie Sosnowiec and Naprzód Janow for the coming season was already fixed before the last game between these two teams and the venue was waived. Orlik Opole and Polonia Bytom had to move into the second class I league .
