Promotion/relegation play-off Derde Divisie – Hoofdklasse

Both for the Saturday and Sunday leagues applies the same systematic.

The team ranked 15th in the Topklasse and the 3 period winners of the 3 leagues (9 teams), making a total of 10 teams participate in the play-offs.

In previous years these 10 teams competed in 3 rounds for a berth in the Topklasse. In the first round the 3 period winners of each league competed first for a berth in the second round (3 teams). Only in the second round the team ranked 15th in the Topklasse joined, making the total at that moment 4 teams. These 4 teams participated in a 2-round 2 leg system for 1 berth in next seasons Topklasse. The other 9 teams played next season in the Hoofdklasse.

With the introduction of the new league system, from Topklasse and Hoofdklasse to Tweede Divisie, Derde Divisie and Hoofdklasse, the number of berths for now the Derde Divisie was increased from 1 to 5.

As a result, the 10 teams were right away paired up to play a 1-round 2 leg knockout system. The 5 winners played next season in the 2016–17 Derde Divisie and the 5 losers in the 2016–17 Hoofdklasse.

For details and results see 2015–16 Derde Divisie / Hoofdklasse promotion/relegation play-offs.

Promotion/relegation play-off Hoofdklasse – Eerste Klasse

Saturday

The teams ranked 11th and 12th of each of the 3 Saturday leagues (6 teams) and the 3 period winners of each of the 5 Saturday Eerste Klasse leagues (15 teams), making a total of 21 teams participate in the play-offs.

In previous years these 21 teams were split up into 7 groups of 3 teams each. The winner of each group played next season in the Hoofdklasse and the remaining teams in the Eerste Klasse.

With the introduction of the new league system, from Topklasse and Hoofdklasse to Tweede Divisie, Derde Divisie and Hoofdklasse, the number of Hoofdklasse Saturday leagues was reduced from 3 to 2.

As a result, the 21 teams are not competing any more for 7 berths in the Hoofdklasse, but only for 3 berths.

To accomplish this, the 21 teams were first split into 3 groups of 7 teams each. All 7 teams in 1 group playing each other would be too time-consuming. Therefore, each group of 7 teams is split up further into 2 subgroups or poules. One poule of 4 and one poule of 3 teams. The split is made in such a way that there will be a team, which played this season in the Hoofdklasse, in each of the poules (6 total).

In the first round each poule played a semi competition. In the poules with 3 teams, each team played one match at home and one match away. In the poules with 4 teams, 2 teams played two matches at home and one match away, and the other 2 teams played only one match at home and two matches away.

In the second round, the 2 winners of the poules within a group decide which team played next season the Hoofdklasse.

Sunday

The teams ranked 11th and 12th of each of the 3 Sunday leagues (6 teams) and the 3 period winners of each of the 6 Sunday Eerste Klasse leagues (18 teams), making a total of 24 teams participate in the play-offs.

In previous years these 24 teams played in a 2-round 2 leg knockout system. The 6 winners of the second/final round played next season in the Hoofdklasse and the remaining teams in the Eerste Klasse.

With the introduction of the new league system, from Topklasse and Hoofdklasse to Tweede Divisie, Derde Divisie and Hoofdklasse, the number of Hoofdklasse Sunday leagues were reduced from 3 to 2.

As a result, the 24 teams were not competing any more for 6 berths in the Hoofdklasse, but only for 2 berths. However, since the Topklasse club WKE went bankrupt and therefore their team did not relegate to the Hoofdklasse, an extra berth became available. So the teams could compete for 3 berths.

To go from 24 to 3 teams the teams played a 3-round 2 leg knockout system. The teams are paired in a way that two teams, which played this season in the Hoofdklasse, can't meet until the final third round.
