- After the season's end it was disclosed that [[Vasalunds IF]] had played nine matches with four non-[[European Union. EU]]/[[European Economic Area. EEA]] players, one more player than the rules allowed. The result in eight of the matches was changed to 0–3 losses, and one 0–5 loss was unchanged. This had a positive effect on [[Spårvägens FF]] which thus avoided both relegation and relegation play-off, and a negative effect on [[Lira Luleå BK]] which now had to play a relegation play-off, and [[Enköpings SK]] which were now relegated directly instead of playing a relegation play-off.
