The division A winning team won the tournament outright and the division B winning team earned the right to move up to division A the following year at the expense of the team which came 12th in division A, which fell to division B.
The top team from division A took home the championship without contest, and the best team from division B secured a spot in division A for the next season by knocking out the 12th-ranked team in division A, who was subsequently demoted to division B.
