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

[edit] Grounds

Sanmarinese teams don't have home grounds of their own. Instead, the following venues are randomly chosen for every match between:

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.
