As Series A prepares to return to the field on June 20, it is also working on the assumptions that, after the restart, the championship cannot be ended due to a new outbreak of coronavirus or multiple positives in the teams. Emergency formulas were being discussed. The Federation proposed the approval of an algorithm to, if necessary, elucidate the end of the championship, with its champion and the teams that would go back to the second division. As an alternative solution, if at least it could be played in a shortened way, there was also the option of using a playoff to declare the champion and the descents on the table.
However, as Gazzetta dello Sport explains today, in the club assembly a majority proposal has been made to make a proposal to the federation with another way of concluding the competition. That does not go through either the playoff or the famous algorithm. The clubs prefer that if there is no mathematical champion or arithmetically assured declines when the moment of suspension is reached, the title is left vacant and that, equally, no team goes down to Series B. The proposal of the Series A assembly must now be approved by the Federation, which from the first moment has been presented as reluctant to end the season without champion or relegation. Again, tension between the classes. In fact, Gravina, president of the federation, had already expressed his desire to resort to the algorithm in case the season had to be ended abruptly.
