References
- 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]].
- Since [[extra time]], [[aggregate score]] and the [[away goals rule]] was not used, a third match played on neutral ground decided the play-off.
- Tie breaker is (probably) head-to-head results.
