In 1973, a new rule was introduced that lasted only one season. According to the new regulation, in the case of draw, the winner of the match had to be decided by a penalty shoot-out. The winner of the penalty shoot-out received 1 point (instead of 2 for a win in 90 minutes). The loser received no points. In the 1973 season, seven games were decided on penalties. Zimbru won twice and lost five 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 season statistics, these seven games are counted as draws.
In 1978, a draw limit rule was introduced. This restriction was abolished at the end of 1988 season. The only time Zimbru was affected by this rule was in the 1979 season. The limit for points awarded for 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 playoff matches. The regulation that was introduced in 1950 and abolished in 1957 stated that the team that became the champion of the Moldavian SSR would play in play-off games against the other team from Moldavian SSR which already played in Class A or B, and took the lowest place in the league. However, in the early 1950s, 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 for the playoffs. These play-off matches were not always held; they were played only at the discretion of the Moldavian SSR national committee. The playoff rule was active for eight seasons, but was applied only three times. The results of the Burevestnik team (now called 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 season statistics the play-off matches are not counted.
