KingHaysey Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm currently managing FC Zwolle in the dutch Jupiler league and after about 6 games in I noticed that Volendam (who were sitting in 4th) had secured a Playoff spot. How is this possible? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertcornell68 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Welcome to the wacky world of Dutch football. The Juliper League is divided into four periods and the winner of each qualifies for the promotion play-offs, regardless of their final position. (So do the top placed teams overall.)

The_Damaja Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 So you can be top after 6 games but bottom at the end of the season but still have a chance for promotion? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coentrao Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 So you can be top after 6 games but bottom at the end of the season but still have a chance for promotion? Yes, you just need to be the best team on a period of games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Whippy Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 This is why I don't manage in The Netherlands, it confuses the hell outta me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLS Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 In that case, could you theoretically be promoted and relegated, wtf happens then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquarius_DJ Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I can tell you! FC Oss in my game won a period but finished last. So they actually avoided relegation by promotion. Never happened in real life though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
