Notes

Teams from a large part of northern Sweden, approximately above the province of Medelpad, were not allowed to play in the national league system until the 1953–54 season, and a championship was instead played to decide the best team in Norrland.
Tie breaker is (probably) most scored goals.
Since extra time, aggregate score and the away goals rule was not used, a third match played on neutral ground decided the play-off.
A final replay was played as the first final ended in a draw.

gollark: You can compare Apple products with non-Apple products on many dimensions. The obvious one, given that they sell mostly computers, is hardware capabilities per $ (or other money unit).

gollark: Computers are basically commodity hardware at this point.

gollark: I thought DDR4 was mostly widely deployed around... 2017?

gollark: ... mildly less revenue for Apple, hopefully?

gollark: Is it though? Is it really?
