KB Karlskoga promoted to division 2 as Hertzöga BK withdrew to division 4

Playoff to Division 3

Between the 12 9th placed teams from division 3 and 36 teams from division 4. The winner of each group plays in division 3 1999.

GROUP 1

Alviks IK, Luleå - Hamrånge GIF 2-4, 2-4 Hamrånge promoted. Alviks IK to further playoff.

1. Haparanda FF 3 3 0 0 7- 2 9 Promoted

2. Älvsby IF 3 1 1 1 5- 4 4 Relegated

3. Myckle IK 3 1 0 2 5- 9 3

4. Alviks IK, Luleå 3 0 1 2 3- 5 1 Promoted*

* = Alviks IK got promoted after KB Karlskoga FF took Hertzögas vacant spot in division 2 (3rd level). Alvik thus got Karlskogas vacant spot in division 3 (4th level). It may seem a little odd that the last placed team in the group got a promotion spot. The reason is that Hertzöga didn't announce their retirement until after the playoffgroup was concluded and as the preliminary playoff above (Alvik - Hamrånge) was played between division 4 winners it was ranked higher than the playoffgroup.
