A number of teams were scheduled to take part in two different double round-robin tournaments after the conclusion of the regular season, with four teams to compete for the third available promotion spot and four teams to avoid relegation. However, the relegation play-offs were cancelled[citation needed] after several teams were demoted because of financial irregularities.
Each play-off participant was assigned a number of bonus points in relation to their result of the regular season. The worst-placed team of each group started the play-off with 0 points. The number of points earned during the regular season by these teams was then subtracted from the points of each other team of the respective group; the result was divided by four and rounded to the nearest whole number of points, if necessary.
Promotion play-offs
The promotion play-offs initially comprised the teams ranked 3rd through 6th during the regular season, OFI, Trikala, Levadiakos and Doxa Drama and were scheduled to take place in late May, immediately after the conclusion of the regular season. However, the round was postponed due to the investigations in the Koriopolis scandal.[citation needed] Trikala were eventually found guilty of forgery and demoted to the amateur leagues;[citation needed] their spot in the promotion play-off was taken by 7th-placed Diagoras.
As outlined above, Diagoras' earned total of 52 points during the regular season were taken as a base for the calculation of bonus points for the other play-off participants. OFI had collected 69 points, 17 more than Diagoras Rodos, and hence were assigned a four-point bonus. Similarly, Levadiakos (60 points) were awarded two bonus points and Doxa Drama (56 points) were given a one-point bonus. OFI won the play-off and were promoted to 2011–12 Super League Greece. Levadiakos and Doxa Drama were also promoted because Olympiakos Volou and Kavala F.C. were relegated because of Koriopolis.

Relegation play-offs

However, the round was eventually cancelled[citation needed] after Trikala, Anagennisi Karditsa, Ionikos and Asteras Piraeus were all found guilty of forgery and demoted from the league.[citation needed]
