 During these years, teams in five-team divisions who did not finish last would not normally face a 5th place team outside their division, whether or not those teams were intraconference.There was a special so-called "last place" or "fifth-place" schedule for teams who finished in last place in a five-team division.In addition to their division games, a team who finished in last place in the previous season would also primarily play the other teams who finished in last place in their respective divisions (the intraconference one would be played twice to fill a void otherwise taken by a "third" team that finished the same place), plus all the clubs in the four team division in their conference.
