[edit] Rules
Until 1996, the league had two levels, Serie A1 and Serie A2, and a relegation/promotion system. However, the teams promoted from the second level could also participate in the championship play-off against Serie A1's first teams. Nowadays, all the clubs play at the same level, split into two divisions called Girone. The first three teams in each girone enter a play-off tournament to decide the championship winners, who qualify for the UEFA Champions League preliminary phase. The domestic cup winners qualify for the UEFA Cup preliminary phase. [1]
The teams play home and away matches in their gironi and once against the teams from the other girone.
[edit] Grounds
Sanmarinese teams don't have home grounds of their own. Instead, the following venues are randomly chosen for every match:
- Chiesanuova ground
- Dogana ground, (located in Serravalle)
- Fiorentino ground
- the Fonte dell'Ovo, (located in Domagnano)
- Serravalle "B" ground
Sometimes the Stadio Olimpico, based in Serravalle, is also used. Since there aren't many grounds, matches are played on two days of each week, usually Saturday and Sunday. The play-off finals and the European fixtures are always played in the Stadio Olimpico.
