Notes

(1) Argentinos Juniors wasn’t promoted due to not having the necessary
    number of members to play in the First Level, and neither a field 
    in order.
(2) The tournament was interrupted due to a player’s strike and later
    abandoned. AFA decide to give back places in the First Level to the
    last relegated teams: Atlanta and Ferrocarril Oeste.
(3) In spite of its second place, Quilmes won the promotion because the
    original winner, Newell's Old Boys, was deducted 10 points and lost
    the championship due to an incentive´s affaire with some Excursionistas´
    players. The punishment was cancelled at the end of 1963 season and
    Newell´s was finally promoted by AFA. 
(4) Even though they finished on first place, weren’t promoted due to the
    controversial Reclassification Tournament, played between the best
    Second Level and the worst First Level teams. Their places were taken
    by other Second Level teams. That system only survived four seasons
    (1967-1970).
