2000 in Armenian football
2000 in Armenian football was the ninth season of independent football after the split-up from the Soviet Union. The Armenian Premier League for 2000 existed of 8 teams of which the lowest ranked teams would relegate to the Armenian First League. The seventh ranked team would enter the promotion/relegation play-off with the second ranked team of the First League. However it was decided that none of the Premier League teams would be relegated and four clubs were promoted from the First League, as well as FC Banants that was given a place at the highest level for the 2001 season. In the last few weeks Ararat, Zvartnots-AAL, Dinamo and Mika all refused to play once or more times as they were demanding fair play and claiming that referees penalised them repeatedly in favour of Araks that eventually won the title due to the awarded 3-0 victories in their favour.

gollark: PotatOS doesn't use bytecode and do not break backward compatibility or else.
gollark: it was never used.
gollark: The emergency shutdown thing was added after an issue when I retasked all PotatOS machines to spam a rednet chat server and couldn't stop them.
gollark: The SPUDNET interface is highly concurrent™ so you could just send a shutdown command while it is doing other things and it'd work.
gollark: It just doesn't have a dedicated emergency shutdown thing now, since the interface for remote debugging got actual parallelism ages back.
