It was expanded to include seven clubs, like most previous season coming from three Northern Italian regions. 4 Piedmont clubs played a round robin that required a tie break to decide who would go through to the final. Two clubs from Liguria and one from Lombardy contested a knock out competition to decide the finalist from the three of them.
