Format In the initial phase of the season, the 12 teams played a round-robin tournament, whereby each team played each one of the other teams three times. After 33 matches, the league split into two sections of six teams, with each team playing each other in that section. The league attempted to balance the fixture list so that teams in the same section played each other twice at home and twice away, but sometimes this was impossible. A total of 228 matches were played, with 38 matches played by each team.
League table
Results Matches 1–33 In matches 1–22, all teams played each other twice, once at home and once away. In matches 23–33, all teams played each other once, either home or away.
Matches 34–38 After 33 matches, the league was split into two sections of six teams, i.e. the top six and the bottom six, with the teams playing every other team in their section once (either at home or away). The exact matches were determined by the position of the teams in the league table at the time of the split.
