Relegation playoffs

Choden won the final of the B-Division on 19 June 2005, beating Rookies 3-0.[4] Choden and another unknown team then entered the playoffs against Rigzhung and Dzongric. From the known fixtures that took place in 2006, it can be extrapolated that Choden beat Dzongric, whilst Rigzhung beat the other unknown team from the B-Division.[5]
