No one had to be rejected; until a few weeks before the league start, there was even only 19 candidates - only then ( and after the official entry date) Lille Bureau decided not left to local rivals from Fives to the terrain alone.

Performance, results and tables

It was the two- point rule; case of a tie, the goal difference was the decisive factor for the placement.

Group B

Beginning of the season no club has managed to gain a decisive advantage. In the course of a three-way battle between the neighbors from Antibes and Cannes, each won their home game in the " very heated " direct confrontation developed, and the " secret favorite " FC Sochaux. Before the last game theoretically still had all three competitors the chance to win the group, with the latter two had to play against each other, while the former had to meet one -assessed as easier task. Apparently, however, wanted to play it safe Antibes ' Coach: He should have tried before the game against the SC Fives, " to find arrangements that the player left to the anti- Bois victory " with officials of the Liller suburbanites one.
