## Notes

[edit]

1. ^ a b c d e f g h i Tie breaker is goal average.
2. ^ a b c d e It is unknown how spots for the qualification play-off against the two sixth placed teams in Svenska Serien were awarded. Västerås IK were probably given a spot as they won their league, Mellansvenska Serien, but it is not known why the winners of Uppsvenska Serien or Västsvenska Serien were not given any spots, or why Landskrona BoIS, which had not even played in a national league during the season, were given a spot.
3. ^ One match ended in a walkover for the away team, Mariebergs IK–IK Sirius, this match has been counted as 0–0 but two points to the away team. The following two matches were not played but have been counted as 0–0 and one point to each team: Mariebergs IK–Östermalms IF and Mariebergs IK–IF Linnéa.
4. ^ Värtans IK merged with Östermalms IF after seven rounds, and the team then continued to play in the league under the name Östermalms IF. The score for Värtans IK after the seventh round was three wins, zero draws, four losses, the goal difference 11–18 (-7) and 6 points.
