[*13] missing goal(s) rd 13
[p:] indicates actual number of points (reportedly) obtained (if different from those based on results);
     discrepancies may be due to point deductions and/or incorrectly reported results

NB: the second half of the season was to start on Jun 5 (and finish by Aug 31) but as 15 of the 18
      clubs (all but Léopards, Diables Noirs and JS Poto-Poto) refused to continue before payments
      due to them by the government had been received, the second half was cancelled; 
    instead, the top-6 clubs at the halfway stage were to play off for entry to the CAF club
      competitions 2016 (top-2 to CAF Champions League, 3rd placed team and cup winners to
      CAF Confederation Cup); eventually this playoff did not take place;
    the bottom-2 clubs at the halfway stage were to be relegated and the clubs positioned 15th and 16th
      were to play off against the two second level group winners for two places in the league 2015/16,
      which is reduced to 16 clubs; eventually this did not happen and instead no teams were relegated
      and two promoted to extend the league to 20 clubs.

[p:] indicates actual number of points (reportedly) obtained (if different from those based on results);
     discrepancies may be due to point deductions and/or incorrectly reported results

NB: the second half of the season was to start on Jun 5 (and finish by Aug 31) but as 15 of the 18
      clubs (all but Léopards, Diables Noirs and JS Poto-Poto) refused to continue before payments
      due to them by the government had been received, the second half was cancelled; 
    instead, the top-6 clubs at the halfway stage were to play off for entry to the CAF club
      competitions 2016 (top-2 to CAF Champions League, 3rd placed team and cup winners to
      CAF Confederation Cup); eventually this playoff did not take place;
    the bottom-2 clubs at the halfway stage were to be relegated and the clubs positioned 15th and 16th
      were to play off against the two second level group winners for two places in the league 2015/16,
      which is reduced to 16 clubs; eventually this did not happen and instead no teams were relegated
      and two promoted to extend the league to 20 clubs.

Promoted: AS Kimbonguéla de Kinkala, Jeunes Fauves de Dolisie 

NB: FC Bilombé withdrew before the start of the new season for financial reasons; the runners-up of
    the two second level groups were to play an additional match for the 20th top level place 2016.

Promotion Playoff [Dec 13, 2015]
Pigeon Vert                   n/p TP Mystère                    
NB: match cancelled after club presidents suggested to Fécofoot to grant Pigeon Vert direct
    promotion in order to obtain a better balance between clubs from Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire

Promoted: Pigeon Vert (Pointe-Noire)

CAF Playoff

The top-6 at the halfway stage of the regular season (Léopards, Etoile du Congo, JS Talangaï,
Diables Noirs, Interclub and V.Club Mokanda) were to play off for the right to enter the CAF
competitions in 2016 but eventually the federation cancelled the playoff and allocated the CAF
places as follows: CAF Champions League: AC Léopards de Dolisie and Etoile du Congo; CAF
Confederation Cup: Diables Noirs (as cup winners) and V.Club Mokanda (for apparently political
reasons: they are the only club from Pointe-Noire among the top-6).  Should Etoile du Congo
not drop its complaint at CAS, they will be replaced by JS Talangaï.
