DIVISIONAL MOVEMENTS:

1992 – Six regional divisions. Eastern division was planned, but no matches were played due to independence war. Table south / norhern Dalmatia is wrong (odd number of draws, one loss more, goal difference +9), Table south / southern Dalmatia is wrong (four more losses, goal differnce -1), Table west/Istria is wrong (two more wins, goal difference -8). All playoff matches are included in all time table. Grobničan and Crikvenica have one point deducted.

1992/93 – Five divisions. Table south is wrong (Two more wins, goal difference +1). Table north is wrong (goal difference +1), table center is wrong (goal difference -20), table west is wrong (goal difference +12). Chromos Zagreb and Ogulin have points deducted. Petrinja plays its home matches in Sisak and Baranja and Vukovar play its home matches in Osijek due to war.

1993/94 – Five divisions. Table south is wrong (eight more losses, Trogir has 55-24 g.d., not 55-54 as on wikipedia),north table is wrong (goal difference +26), west table is wrong (two more wins). Omladinac, Daruvar, Metalac and Gospić have point(s) deducted. Baranja and Vukovar play their matches in Osijek due to war.

1994/95 – Eight divisions. Table south / middle is wrong (two more wins, goal differnce +5), Table south / south is wrong (goal difference +23), table south/north is wrong (odd number of draws, one more win, goal difference +21). Table north b is wrong (-4 goal difference). VGŠK Virovitica swallowed TVIN Virovitica during winter break. However, TVINs record was not expunged but remained int he table. Game Mladost Nada-Garić was left unplayed. Maestral and Orebić have points deducted. Baranja plays in Osijek because of war.

1995/96 –League structure was reformed for this season and 1B league was introduced, so three divisions of second level were simply demoted to third level status, and third level was demoted to fourth level. Three divisions of third level.

1996/97 – Expanded to five divisions. East table is wrong (+2 goal difference), South table is wrong (+8 goal difference), center table is wrong (+5 goal difference)

1997/98 – 1B league concept was abandoned (high costs, low attendances, difference in quality…) so five divisions of third level were now raised to second level status. 

Third level was also expanded to twelve divisions of third level. Osijek-Vikovci table is wrong (two more losses, gd -1). Slavonski Brod-Požega table is wrong (four more losses, gd +7). Split and Dubrovnik made things even more complicated – in autumn clubs play in separate divisions two round robin. After that five best clubs from Split group and three best clubs from 

Dubrovnik formed league for champion and played another sixteen rounds. Rest of teams play in two divisions to avoid relegation. Split first part season table is wrong (gd +8).

Dubrovnik first part season table is wrong (two more losses). Teams from Zadar and Šibenik counties played in one division. Table extracted from Sportske novosti. 

There were two divisions for Zagreb clubs – some clubs from Zagreb played in eastern division together with teams from Sisak county while other played in western 

division together with clubs from Krapina and Karlovac counties. Western division table extracted from Sportske novosti. Virovitica, Bjelovar and Koprivnica county 

played in one division – and that division was ultimate proof that this third level structure was a major failure. Table found in Sportske novosti is final. First problem

 was Dinamo Predavac withdrawal after 18 rounds. And then towards the end several games were left unplayed beacuse of irrelevance. That is why clubs have 

varying amount of games played. Originaly Varaždin and Međimurje clubs were supposed to play in one division. However, two divisions were formed. In 

Varaždin division Sloga and Razvitak withdrew after winter break, their record however stayed. Clubs from Istra county played in one division and clubs from 

Primorsko Goranska and Ličko Senjska county played together in one divisions Game Klana – Croatia was left unplayed due to irrelevance.

Table is wrong (four more wins, gd+6) All those tables are extracted from Sportske novosti.

1998/99 – Back to five divisions. East table is wrong on Wikipedia, Baranja goal difference is 30-68, not 30-58 as on Wiki.

1999/00 – Five divisions. Raštane withdrew during winter break. Their record however was not expunged but remained int he table. Mladost Nada and Posavina also withdrew during autumn season, their record was expunged.

2000/01 – Five divisions. Tables on Wikipedia are wrong while those on RSSSF are correct.

2001/02 – Five divisions. Play off matches Opatija-Napredak and Dilj-Mladost Prelog are counted. Other playoff matches include teams from other levels and are not counted.

2002/03 – Five divisions. Playoff matches Mosor-Segesta is included in all time table. Playoff matches that include teams from other levels are not. Podravac withdraw from promotion playoff.

2003/04 – Five divisions. West table is wrong (goal difference +3). Playoffs have been planed, but it is unknown to the author if they were actually played.

2004/05 – Five divisions. Game GOŠK-Hajduk was left unplayed (south), probably due to irrevelance. Playoff matches that include teams from same level are counted, those with other level teams are not.

2005/06 – Five divisions. Playoff match between GOŠK Dubrovnik and Moslavina is included.

2006/07 – League was reduced to three divisions. First place match was played in north division because Slavonac and Suhopolje were equal on points and head-to-head. Another match was played between Suhopolje (second north) and Segesta Sisak (Second west) to determine fourth promotion place. Those matches are included in all time table.

2007/08 – Three divisions. Playoff was planned but no participating club got license for second level.

2008/09 – Three divisions. Marsonia was expelled during winter break. Their record however remained. Again no playoff because only three clubs got license.

2009/10 – Three divisions. Trogir withdrew during autumn season, their record was expunged.
