Finland 1999

Premier Division (Veikkausliiga)

The Preliminary Stage consists of 12 teams, who play each other home and
away (22 rounds).
After that, the top eight teams will continue in the Championship Group
(they will play each other once = 7 rounds); while the bottom four teams
will continue in the Relegation Group (home + away = 6 rounds). In both
of the final groups, the teams start at the points they collected in the
Preliminary Stage. The team finishing last in the Relegation Group will
be relegated, while the second and third finishers will play off against
the Division One third and second finishers, respectively. The Division
One winners will be promoted directly.
