Championship play-off

In determining which team becomes champion, only the achieved number of points is considered. The goal difference is completely ignored.

Therefore, WHC and DETO were considered to have ended equal and had to play an additional match against each other on neutral ground in Hardenberg to decide which team would become champion and which team would have to play the promotion/relegation Topklasse/Hoofdklasse play-offs.

Relegation play-off

In determining which teams relegate directly and which teams are allowed to play the play-offs to avoid relegation, only the achieved number of points is considered. The goal difference is initially completely ignored.
Therefore, Meerssen, de Valk and Dijkse Boys were considered to have ended equal and had to play a play-off to decide which 2 teams were allowed to enter the promotion/relegation Hoofdklasse/Eerste Klasse play-offs. The play-off is a semi competition in which each team plays one match at home and one match away. If two or more teams end with the same number of points not the goal difference of the play-off but the goal difference of the regular season determines the final ranking.
