Scudetto winners: Monza
The nine group winners are automatically promoted to Serie C .
Honorific play-off
Teams placed between second and fifth in each group enter a playoff tournament after the regular season. The tournament provides a priority list for entry into the next year Lega Pro in the case any of the professional teams fail to meet the minimum criteria to participate.
Rules
The two rounds were one-legged matches played in the home field of the best-placed team.
The games ending in ties were extended to extra time. The higher classified team was declared the winner if the game was still tied after extra time. Penalty kicks were not taken.
Round one matched 2nd & 5th-placed teams and 3rd & 4th-placed teams within each division.
The two winners from each division played each other in the second round .
The tournament results provide a list, starting with the winner, by which vacancies could be filled in Serie C .
If the winner is not admitted to this league it gets €30,000, while the replacement (the finalist) instead gets €15,000.
First round
Single-legged matches played at best-placed club's home field: the 2nd-placed team plays the 5th-placed team at home, the 3rd-placed team plays the 4th placed team at home
Games ending in a tie are extended to extra time; if still tied, the higher-classified team wins
Second round
Single-legged matches played at best-placed club's home field
Games ending in a tie are extended to extra time; if still tied, the higher-classified team wins
Later admitted to Serie C : Triestina and Rende .
Relegations
The bottom three teams of each group are relegated into next year's Eccellenza (the highest tier in regional football in Italy), while teams placed 14th and 15th face each other in a single leg play-out (team places 14th playing home), the loser of the tie is relegated.
Play-Off
Single-legged matches played on best-placed club's home ground
In case of tied score, extra time is played; if score is still level, best-placed team wins
