  • In 1973 was introduced a new rule,that lasted only one season.According to new regulation,in the case of draw the winner of the match had to be decided by penalty shoot-out.The winner in the penalty shoot-out received 1 point (instead of 2 for a win in 90 minutes).The loser gets no points.In 1973 season 7 games were decided on penalties.Zimbru won twice and lost 5 times.The total number of points in the season was 52 (50 points earned for 25 wins in the regular time,and 2 points after penalty shoot-outs).[1]
  • In the overall seasons statistics,these 7 games are counted as draws.
  • In 1978 was introduced a Draw limit rule.This restriction was abolished at the end of 1988 season.The only time Zimbru was affected by this rule,was in 1979 season.The limit for the draws earned was 12.For 2 draws that exceeded the limit,Zimbru earn no points.

Soviet Play-off

  • Three times Zimbru defended their right to play in the Soviet First League (Class B in those years) by taking part in the play-off matches.The regulation that had been introduced since 1950 and abolished in 1957 states that the team that became the champion of the Moldavian SSR,had a right for promotion in the play-off games against the other team from Moldavian SSR,which already plays in Class A or B,and has taken the lowest place in the league.However,in the early 50s Zimbru was the only team that represented Moldavian SSR in the Soviet League,so the final place in the Class B table did not matter,considering play-offs.It should be mentioned that not always these play-off matches were held.It was played only at the discretion of Moldavian SSR national committee.The play-off rule was active for 8 seasons,but has been applied only 3 times.The results of Burevestnik(current Zimbru) are shown below.[2]
  • 1950 Burevestnik – Krasnoe Znamya (Chișinău) – 7-2,3-1.
  • 1951 Burevestnik – Krasnaya Zvezda (Tiraspol) – 8-0,3-2.
  • 1954 Burevestnik – Institutul Agricol (Chișinău) – 1-2,3-0,+:- (the opponent refused to play the decisive match).
  • In the overall seasons statistics the play-offs matches are not counted.
