  Dmitriy Kudinov (Qarabag)   14  [Russia]
3.Alay Bahramov (Samkir)      13

NB: no matches were played from April 12 to May 4; all teams bar 
    Samkir and Safa refused to continue the league unless AFFA 
    president Fuad Musayev retires; as he did not, the dissident
    clubs decided to continue the championship independently, 
    playing the matches of round 4 on May 4.  The AFFA does not
    recognise this competition.

    AFFA has issued another press-release where they say they plan to
    resume championship on May 20, disregarding the results from Rounds
    5 and 6, and have it finished before Jun 12 - thus having 6 rounds 
    played in 24 days. So far, clubs are going to ignore this decision.

    As this failed, AFFA president Fuad Musayev is going to create a
    spring-fall championship, with 12 clubs, to start June 20.  Participants
    will be Safa, Safa-2, 2nd level champions Lokomotiv Imisli and any
    team that is willing to enter; this may include a team from
    Azerifootball.com ...

    Meanwhile, UEFA have decided not to admit any Azeri teams to the
    club tournament 2002/03.
