Abstract: In 1985 Crapo introduced in cite{Crapo} a new mathematical object that he called extitgeometryofcircuits. Four years later, in 1989, Manin and Schechtman defined in cite{MS} the same object and called it extitdiscriminantalarrangement, the name by which it is known now a days. Those discriminantal arrangements mathcalB(n,k,mathcalA0) are builded from an arrangement mathcalA0 of n hyperplanes in general position in a k-dimensional space and their combinatorics depends on the arrangement mathcalA0. On this basis, in 1997 Bayer and Brandt (see cite{BB}) distinguished two different type of arrangements mathcalA0 calling extitverygeneric the ones for which the intersection lattice of mathcalB(n,k,mathcalA0) has maximum cardinality and extitnon−verygeneric the others. Results on the combinatorics of mathcalB(n,k,mathcalA0) in the very generic case already appear in Crapo cite{Crapo} and in 1997 in Athanasiadis cite{Atha} while the first known result on non-very generic case is due to Libgober and the first author in 2018. In their paper cite{LS} they provided a necessary and sufficient condition on mathcalA0 for which the cardinality of rank 2 intersections in mathcalB(n,k,mathcalA0) is not maximal anymore. In this paper we further develop their result providing a sufficient condition on mathcalA0 for which the cardinality of rank r, rgeq2, intersections in mathcalB(n,k,mathcalA0) decreases.
