Notes: The sixth round was played between the twelfth and the thirteenth rounds, the eleventh round was played between the seventeenth and the eighteenth rounds and the twenty-sixth round was played between the twenty-eighth and the twenty-ninth rounds.

Play-offs

In the play-off for Champions League, the four qualified teams play each other in a home and away round robin. However, they do not all start with 0 points. Instead, a weighting system applies to the teams' standing at the start of the play-off mini-league. The team finishing fifth in the Super League will start the play-off with 0 points. The fifth placed team's end of season tally of points is subtracted from the sum of the points that other teams have. This number is then divided by five.[citation needed]
