NOTES:
a) Amstrig Riga are now known as Daugava Riga
b) Vilan-D Daugavpils are now known as Dinaburg Daugavpils
c) DAG Liepaja have united with FK Liepaja (1st div.)
and are now known as FK Liepaja
d) Lokomotive Daugavpils (1st div. runner up) will play in premier division
instead of Olimpia Riga because of Olimpia's refusal.
e) "RAF --> FK Universitate."
The biggest latvian cars' manufacturer RAF refused its sponsorship
of RAF Jelgava football club. New owner of the club is Latvian
University and because of that the new name of the club is
FK Universitate Riga. Obviously the club has reallocated from
Elgava to Riga.
f) During the playoff stage, FK Liepaja changed name to Baltika Liepaja.
Regulations (Basics)
Premier division's competition will proceed in 2 stages like in last season.
In the 1st stage clubs will play twice each against other (total 18 rounds).
In the 2nd stage 6 best clubs will again play twice each against other but
other 4 clubs will play 4 times each against other (taking in account 1st
stage's results)
10th club will be relegated to 1st division. 9th will play twice against
1st division's runner-up to stay in the premier division.

Vucans.
03-Nov. FK Valmiera - Skonto/Metals 2:0
Maliukovs, Savalnieks.
FK Valmiera won 2:1 on aggregate and promoted
to the premier division.
Vecriga Riga promoted to the premier division
as the winner of 1st divison tournament.
RUMOURS:
- There is the possibility that Jurnieks will be united with Daugava
and the new name for the club will be "Daugavas jurnieks". This is due to
Daugava's financial troubles.
- Huge russian oil concern LUKOIL is interesting in FK Universitate.
- Vecriga can refuse to play in the premier division. Its place could take
Daugava/Juniors or Skonto/Metals or united club.
- Obviously we will see Venta Ventspils in the premier division. They
negotiate this question with Starts. Or may be premier division will be
expanded for the next season.
