The 17 teams of the Vysschaya League were divided into two conferences before the season according to regional criteria. The western conference had seven participants, two fewer teams than the eastern conference had eight participants. Initially, each team played four times against each team within their own conference, so that the number of games per team was 24 in the western conference and 32 in the eastern conference. The first two teams in each conference then qualified for the qualifying round for promotion to the super league . The teams in places three to seven in the Western Conference and three to nine in the Eastern Conference then played separately from each other in a final round, with the Western Conference being supplemented by five teams from the third division, the Pervaya League . Each team received two points for a win, one point for a draw and zero points for a defeat.
