Liga season was the second season of the 1. Liga since its creation in 1931. At this time, the 1. Liga was the second-tier of the Swiss football league system. Overview Preamble This season the Swiss Football Association (ASF/SFV) had 18 member clubs in the top-tier and 18 clubs in the second-tier. The third-tier was now governed regionally. The modifications in the football league system were continuing, but after the turmoils of the recent years, the moods had cooled considerably. The plan for next year was to reduce the membership of the top-tier by two clubs and to increase the size of the second-tier by four clubs in two years. Format There were 18 clubs that competed in the 1. Liga this season. The 18 clubs were divided into two regional groups, each with 9 teams. The teams in each group played a double round-robin to decide their league position. Two points were awarded for a win and one point was awarded for a draw. Both group winners were promoted to the top-tier Nationalliga, but they contested a final to decide the title of 1. Liga champions. Curiously the 1. Liga Champions were automatically qualified for the final round of the Nationalliga. However, this rule was abolished after this season. There were four relegations this season, the last two placed teams in each group were directly relegated to the 2. Liga (third tier).
