[edit] Rules

Until 1996, the league had two levels (Serie A1 e Serie A2) and a relegation/promotion system, although the teams promoted from the second level could participate in the championship play-off against Serie A1's first teams.

Nowadays, all the sides play at the same level, split in two divisions (Gironi).

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. Prior to 2007, the winners entered the UEFA Cup preliminary stages [1].

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.
