Second stage

edit

At the second stage, the teams of subgroup A retain the statistics from the first stage (points, wins, draws, losses, scored and missed goals). The teams of subgroup B retain the statistics from the first stage only in matches against teams from subgroup. Thus, before the second stage, new standings are formed in subgroup B. The teams in each subgroup will play in a single round-robin tournament.

The winner of subgroup A becomes the winner of the group and can qualify to the First league. The two last teams of subgroup B (13th and 14th places in the group) eliminate from the Second League.[3]

Second stage

edit

At the second stage, the teams of subgroup A retain the statistics from the first stage (points, wins, draws, losses, scored and missed goals). The teams of subgroup B retain the statistics from the first stage only in matches against teams from subgroup. Thus, before the second stage, new standings are formed in subgroup B. The teams in each subgroup will play in a double round-robin tournament.

The winner of subgroup A becomes the winner of the group and can qualify to the First league. The three last teams of subgroup B (8th, 9th and 10th places in the subgroup) eliminate from the Second League.[3]
