The match CSKA-Levski was not played, as the Blues did not appear at the „Balgarska armiya“ stadium. The boycott was because of the BFU's refusal to grant Tomas Lafchis' request for the replacement of the match referee Dimitar Momirov. Later, the team of Levski was removed from the tournament for the Cup of the PFL and his rivals in the program group were awarded official victories. Although, as a rule, Levski's team should be relegated to the B Group, the BFU has a decided that they should continue to play in other tournaments. CSKA failed to skip the group and dropped out of the tournament.
