The tournament was held as a national division, in which 8 teams from the 3 founding Associations of the HFF, participated and resulted as follows:

• Athenian Championship: The 3 highest-ranked teams.
• Piraeus' Championship: The 2 highest-ranked teams.
• Macedonian Championship: The 3 highest-ranked teams.

These teams did not participate in the regional championships and their stay in the national division was judged by a play-off round. According to the regulations of the time, whoever finished in a lower position than the other teams of the same Association had to play a two-legged round against the winner of the corresponding regional championship to decide who will qualify for the next season's Panhellenic Championship.

The point system was: Win: 2 points - Draw: 1 point - Loss: 0 points.
