At the end of the First Phase, the teams classified from the first to the eighth place of each group are admitted to the Play Offs which designate the team admitted to the promotion play-off for Serie A1. Each round of Play Off is played at the best of three races.
The teams classified from tenth to 13th place compete in the Play Outs which decree 2 relegations to Serie B. The last classified of the two groups are relegated directly to Serie B.[1]
