Argentina. 2 championship, so some explanation is needed – the to 12 in the Metropolitano qualified to play in the Nacional. The next 4 teams played 'petit' championship and the top 2 also moved to Nacional. No team was directly promoted from Second Division (Primera B), three teams were relegated – not directly, but after more playing. The last 2 in the 'petit' tournament plus the last 5 in the table played 'reclassification' tournament. The top three teams remained in the top division, the last two were relegated. The 4th and 5th went to final promotion-relegation tournament with the top 2 teams in Primera B (Ferro Carril Oeste and Almirante Brown). The two teams in this tournament were to play in the top league next season, the other two – in Primera B.
