Macedonian Championship: The first 2 teams of the ranking. Subsequently, 3 new groups were created with geographical criteria where a total of 14 teams participated. The 7 came from the 3 founding associations and the other 7 came from the winners of the regional championships of the same number. Finally, the teams that participated in the final phase of the championship resulted as follows: North Group: The first 2 teams of the ranking. Central Group: The first 2 teams of the ranking. South Group: The first 2 teams of the ranking. The point system was: Win: 3 points - Draw: 2 points - Loss: 1 point.
