Notes
(1): Albania Tabak changed back to Sopoti Librazhd during season
(2): 4 penalization points
(3): Bylis Ballshi after 17 matches it was ninth, but were included in the third
rather than the second group; its place in the second group was taken by Tomori
Berat. The reason for this is unknown; possibly was not taken into account score
after round 17, but score after round 16 when the division was made (Flamurtari
