How's this confusing?
now do czech league lol
Belgian competition enters the chatโฆ
This is a really weird take on the Championship and Relegation group!
Polish Ekstraklasa had simillar system for five seasons
It really is not that confusing
And the European spots get even weirder. The top two teams from the bottom side of the table compete against each other, with the winner facing the 3rd place team from the championship group for the last conference spot. Or 4th if someone from above wins the cup.
The animation is wrong. they play the 3rd and 4th of second division.
First division: 1-12 safe 13-14 fight to stay 15-16 drop
Second division: 1-2 rise 3-4 fight to rise
it's quite normal and straightforward. If you placed low in a division. You risk dropping out. The best teams in lower division rise up.
I see this kind of format a lot in game competitions
There is absolutely nothing confusing here.
This. This is how you make your league watchable for home viewers and well supported, even when it may not be the biggest league compared to Europe. I love these strange formats
Do Danish league
You forgot that the first two from the relegation group will play a play-off and the winner will play with the team from the 3rd place from champions group for a spot of europa conference league.
Sounds similar to scotland but a bit better
The greek league after the 14 teams play each other home/away the top 4 go to the championship group where they play between themselves and the one with the most points from both phases wins the league and the european slots get distributed then 5-8 get their points cut in half and they play between themselves again to decide who makes into conference league and then 9-14th same thing without the point division to see who gets relegated
You forgot to tell that he is very corrupt, hasany stupid referee and VAR decisions and also many matches are fixed and also one of the few leagues where the betting companies are main sponsor and also have rights to the league name ,,Superliga" or ,,Superbet Liga 2"
The more bizzare thing was that 2 seasons ago, the 7th and 8th place would play a single match to decide who would play a conference league playoff against the 3rd or 4th spor in the league… You heard me right…8th place could ve gotten a better season than 5th spot just by default… Welcome to Romanian football logic fellas๐ช๐ผ๐ช๐ผ
I'm Romanian and I am so used to it to the point where it isn't strange anymore
Nascar aaaah football league
reminds me of the czech system
A bunch of European leagues are now doing this. Too many matches, imho, which also means that yes, Champ, League One, and League Two have too many matches (and thusly clubs).
Bundesliga is where itโs at: 34 matches, a winter break, and the Pokal is spread out over the whole season ๐ ๐
Bulgarian League is weirder.
itโs actually awesome
10 teams who face each other 4 times each would be much better. Like Romania has 16 good teams. 10 teams is the sweet spot for at least 2/3 of European leagues.
Nothing confusing about this
Romania isnt the only one, Serbia and Bulgaria also use it some other countries
So there is no point in winning anymore, when you are safe in top 6 and can literally fix matches… gg sports.
They just create the even more confusing version of the Belgian pro league
i understood until 40s โฆafter that it made no sense๐๐๐๐๐๐
Trust me,look in the 3rd division
Sounds straightforward compared to Uruguay, where you have individual opening and closing season league tournaments, with a complimentary in-between tourney that is pretty much pointless except when it comes to tiebreakers to determine actual championship match.
A lot of leages are like that? Lol
There's much more weird than the Romanian league lol
Greek Super League be like
The split happens even in the Czech league. Albeit the scores stay the same. There is a champions group, a relegation group and the middle, that just play for a bit of prize money and a better spot in the league cup next year. The bottom two from relegation group play the top 2 from second league.
I don't talk to vampires.
I see the LCK learned from the best, Romanian football
(league of legends champions korea)
