They have the season counted though. FC Brugeois also have the final vs. FC Liegeois counted. 1899-1900: Results from the Premier league group B (called Oost & West Vlaandaren; incl. FC Brugeois, CS Brugeois, RC de Gand, FC Courtraisien) have not been found. They have the season counted though. FC Brugeois also have the final vs. Racing club de Bruxelles counted. 1902/03: The game Antwerp FC - CS Brugeois was not played in Group A. 1904/05: The game CS Brugeois - Antwerp FC was not played. 1912/13: A championship deciding game was necessary as the two top teams ended on equal points and those were the rules those days. Union St. Gilloise beat Daring club de Bruxelles 2-0. The game is counted in the table. 1913/14: A relegation playoff was needed as the two involved teams ended on equal points and those were the rules those days. AA La Gantoise beat Standard club Liègeois, 2-0. The game is counted in the table. 1914/15 - 1918/19: Cancelled because of WW1. 1921/22: A championship deciding game was necessary as the two top teams ended on equal points and those were the rules those days. Beerschot beat Union St. Gilloise 2-0. The game is counted in the table. 1927/28: A relegation playoff between four teams was necessary to decide the second relegated team as the teams in question ended on equal points and those were the rules of those days. The playoff is counted in the table. 1928/29: A championship deciding game was necessary as the two top teams ended on equal points and those were the rules those days. R. Antwerpen FC beat R. Beerschot AC 2-0. The game is counted in the table. 1939/40: Season not completed due to war. 1940/41: Season not official because of war. However, a champion was decided so I count this season all the same. Played in two groups with championship playoff for the first four of each group. 1943/44: The game R. White Star AC - R. Standard club Liègeois was never played. 1944/45: Season not completed due to war. 1982/83: The winner R. Standard club Liégeois were stripped of the title after evidence of competition fraude against KSV Waterschei THOR Genk. However, later the Belgian federation gave the title back to Standard Liege and there was no effect on the official final table of the season. 1985/86: A championship deciding game was necessary as the two top teams ended on equal points and those were the rules those days. RSC Anderlecht beat Club Brügge KV, 1-1 & 2-2. The games are counted in the table. 1995/96: KSC Eendracht Aalst lost four points from the games vs. K. Sint-Truiden VV (0-0) & RFC Séresien (4-2). The games were set to 0-5 but with the opponents retaining the original scores. 2002/03: KFC Lommelse SK withdrew during the season. As they are not counted in the official final table they are not counted by me either. 2004/05: A playoff was necessary to decide the 2nd Uefa-Cup place. The games between R. Standard club Liégois & KRC Genk (3-1, 0-3) are counted in the table. 2009/10: R. Excelsior Mouscron were excluded after threating a third forfeit in round 21. All results declared null and void. 2009/10 and 2010/11: The Europa league playoffs are counted in the table.
