Rules
The promotion of the group winners was confirmed.
Relegation zone was theoretically expanded to two clubs for each group, but the Great Reform of the Italian football of 1928–29 changed the situation.[2]
Under orders of fascist Leandro Arpinati, the FIGC President, the Italian football had its greatest reform between 1928 and 1929.
A completely new round robinSerie B was planned for 1929. Arpinati immediately expanded the National Division, which would split in A and B in 1929, with best First Division clubs.
