The first stage Groups A and B will be split into two pools one of teams playing for promotion to the First League, another of teams competing to remain in the Second League. Each team in a group will play with every other team two games in a round robin competition. The first two groups The top six teams of the first stage Groups A and B will advance.

In the case of exclusion and/or withdrawal of teams from the First League during the season the format of the promotion/relegation play-off will change.
