ITALY 1st level alltime table 1929/30-2008/09

The first column after placing and teamname is number of seasons played in Serie A; after that like a regular table. The table was composed from material found at the RSSSF. You are free to use this table but please state the source, i.e. Clas Glenning. An * indicates points deducted (in some cases on more than one occasion), I refer the reader to the notes after the table for clarification regarding that. Finally, I would like to thank Armando D'Ambra of Sydney, Australia for some clarifications.

REGULAR NOTES

# 1943/44 & 1944/45-seasons were cancelled due to World War 2. 

## In the 1945/46-season the serie A was divided into two regular season 
groups, centro-sud and alta Italia. These played among themselves first and 
then the best teams from each group played a final round to decide the 
championship. In that season 25 teams played in serie A, 11 in centro sud and 
14 in alta Italia. 

### In the 1946/47-season Triestina escaped relegation although they finished 
last in the table. The reason for this was the occupation of Trieste of allied 
forces so that Triestina could not use their ground in the playoffs. It is very
 probable that three teams should have been relegated from serie A that season 
as 21 teams made up the league the following season. (very possibly it should 
have been 20 teams as serie A was reduced to that number for the 1948/49-season).

#### Udinese (finishing 2nd) and Catania (finishing 14th) were relegated after 
the 1954/55-season instead of the last placed teams, Spal & Pro Patria. Why 
this occured is unknown to me. It might have something to do with a bribery 
scandal involving the forcibly relegated teams.

##### Sampdoria escaped relegation after the 1973/74-season although they 
finished second last. Instead Verona was relegated because they were found 
guilty of match-fixing.

###### As a consequence of a bribery scandal in the 1979/80-season Milan and 
Lazio were forcibly relegated to serie B.

###### As a consequence of a match-fixing scandal during the 2005/06-season
Juventus were relegated to serie B. (See also above regarding point-deductions
for other teams).

######## When points have been deducted the reasons are in most cases unknown to
the author. In some cases deduction can be attributed to the bribery scandals 
mentioned here and there.
