Medals

Historically the players and leaders of the four best teams in Allsvenskan are awarded medals. The winners are awarded the "gold" medal, the runners-up "the big silver" medal, the team finishing in third place the "small silver" medal and the team finishing in fourth place the "bronze" medal. The principle of awarding four medals and not three is thought to have to do with the fact that the losers of the Semi-finals in Svenska Mästerskapet

Svenska Mästerskapet

Svenska Mästerskapet was a Swedish football cup held to decide the Swedish Champions between 1896 and 1925.-Previous winners:-Cup champions:...

 were both given bronze medals since no bronze match was played.

The overall medal rank is displayed below after points in descending order. 5 points are awarded for a "gold" medal, 3 points for a "big silver" medal, 2 points for a "small silver" medal and 1 point for a bronze medal. The table that follows is accurate as of the end of the 2011 season
