Structure
Thirteen clubs competed in the league, playing each other twice. Teams earned three points for a win, one for a draw, and none for a loss. At the season's end, the top two teams were promoted to the First Division, while the bottom two were relegated to the Third Division. The team finishing third played a play-off against the third-last team from the First Division. The winner secured a place in the latter's next season. The 11th-placed team in this league contested a similar play-off against the third-placed team from the Third Division to determine placement in the following season's Second Division.
