Deutche-Fussball-Bund Regulation |
18 teams compete
season by season in the Bundesliga for the title of the German
champion. Matches are played in a round robin mode in first and
second leg ties (at home and away). The bottom three of the table
are relegated directly and are replaced by the three best teams
of the 2nd Bundesliga.
Since 1995/96, the three-point rule is being applied. The winner
of each match gets three points (formerly two), and in case of
a tie each team gets one point, the loser of the match gets none.
The German champion and the runner-up are qualified automatically
for the Champions League.
Starting with the season 1999/2000, the Champions League was extended
to 32 clubs. Thus, it is also possible for the third (and fourth-placed
in some countries) of the Bundesliga to qualify for the Champions
League. The teams participating in this round can be sure that
in case they drop out they will still have the guarantee to start
in the UEFA Cup. If a team wins in one year the German championship
and the Champions League, the Bundesliga will have no right for
an additional place in the Champions League in the following year.
The fifth and sixth of the Bundesliga and the winner of the DFB
cup - or the finalist, in case the cup winner should be entitled
to start also in the Champions League - are qualified for the
first UEFA cup round. Two or three clubs - the seventh, the eighth
and the ninth of the table, unless the cup winner occupies this
place, and provided the respective club has signed up - may qualify
via the UI cup for the UEFA cup. |
