Spain III Division

 

Spain – ranked 5^th by UEFA. This was the longest Spanish championship in history: the structure was changed from standard European format to complicated 2-phase formula. First, there was the usual league schedule and after playing it the league was divided into three groups of 6 teams each - the top 6 proceeded to play for the title, the last 6 were in relegation group – three were going down, and 6 played in the intermediary group – for nothing, so... hard to see reason for motivation to play 10 eaxtra games. But in midseason the Federation decided to increase the two top divisions to 20 teams and the relegation rules changed: after the relegation group ended relegation play-off was hastily included and loser in it was going down. Only one team relegated from La Liga, 3 teams promoted from Segunda Division, which also had complicated two-phase championship. Relegation, however, was not going to materialize, for the newly introduced increase of the top division left Segunda with 16 teams – 4 teams were promoted and none relegated to make the numbers right. Third level – Segunda B – also was changed for the next season, which effectively resulted with 63 teams getting promoted to the new Segunda B of 80 teams divided into 4 groups of 20 teams each. The changes made the season messy – for instance, there were 2 promotion groups in the second phase of Segunda Division, but no final match between the winners of each to decide the second level champion – instead, the team with better record was declared champion. Better record also decided the third promoted team – rather unfair: a play-off between the second-placed teams in the two promotion group should have been played. The teams promoted from Tercera Division to Segunda B were rather loosely based on final standings – seemingly, financial requirements were also involved.

Segunda Division B – Third Division. 22 teams, standard championship formula, the top 4 teams promoted and 1 team relegated to forth level.

Mallorca Atletico – the B team of Mallorca – was relegated. They finished 21^st, a point ahead of Poblense, so the relegation may have been for different than performance reason.

Gandia - 16^th with 38 points.

Alzira - 10^th with 41 points.

Linense - 8^th with 44 points.

Salamanca - 5^th with 53 points. Close to promotion, but missed it by a single point.

Real Burgos - 4^th with 54 points and promoted to Segunda Division.

Granada - 3^rd with 56 points and promoted.

Lleida – second with 57 points and promoted.

Tenerife – champion of Segunda Division B with 59 points from 21 wins,17 ties, and 4 losses. 70-33 goal-difference – second best in the league, but no matter. The winners were promoted, of course.
