Promotion Playoffs

[edit]

Belgrano (Córdoba) and Argentinos Juniors (3rd. and 4th. worst averages) played the promotion playoff v Quilmes[2] and Instituto (C) (qualified from 2000–01 Primera B Nacional) respectively,[3] in a two-legged series.

Although the two playoff series ended 1–1 on aggregate, Argentinos and Belgrano remained in the top division due to rules stated that in cases like those, teams in Primera División would be declared winners (sporting advantage).[4][5]
