Teams qualified for playoffs are written in bold style. A single line at the bottom of a table means that all teams below such a line is relegated, if the line is located at the top it means that all teams above it is promoted. I´ve decided not to translate the various geographical features. Gothenburg, for example, is written in Swedish, i.e. Göteborg. Sweden is divided in three large geographical regions, Norrland, Svealand & Götaland. The following general translations could be bore in mind when reading the tables.

Norra= Northern, Norrland= Northland, Götaland= Gotaland, Södra= Southern, Östra= Eastern, Västra=Western, Mellersta= Middle, Övre= Upper, Nedre= Lower.

12.Saltö BK, Karlskrona 22 3 2 17 20-36 8

 

Note: After the original season ended Sölvesborgs GIF was the champions. However, IFK Kristianstad protested against Saltö BK and claimed they had used an illegible player in several matches. The swedish football federation gave them right and Saltö BK was removed of all the points they had taken with that player in the line-up. This resulted in an alteration of the table to the above written standings which meant that IFK Kristianstad won the promotion spot. But this is not all, the federation decided to increase one of the division 2 groups to 13 teams and thus giving a promotion spot to the original winner of the group above, Sölvesborgs GIF, as well.

Promoted from division 4 to division 3:

Bergkvara AIF; Lyckeby GIF & Vilans BoIF, Kristianstad.

The group reduced to 11 teams.
