SI Staff Riz Remes Posted April 16, 2015 SI Staff Share Posted April 16, 2015 The promotion/relegation rules in real life are one-of-a-kind this season due to the league expanding. The swedish rules are based on the season before for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorett Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 It is correct the league expands this season (14/15). But Season 15/16 and forward will also use a playoff system to make it more difficult to be promoted. "At the end of the 2015/2016 season, and beyond, the SHL and HockeyAllsvenskan relegation and promotion process will be as follows: HockeyAllsvenskan Final As in the previous season, a HockeyAllsvenskan Champion will be crowned, although they will not gain direct admission to the SHL. The winner will move on to DirektKval, meanwhile, the loser shall move into the Playoff round, which will be explained further along. HockeyAllsvenskan ****spelSerie Once again, teams ranked 3-8 will participate in a playoff series just as the previous season, although only the highest ranked team from ****spelSerie will progress on to the Playoff round against the loser of the HockeyAllsvenksan Final. The remaining 5 teams will once again compete in HockeyAllsvenskan the following season. In the case of equal points after the ****spelSerie, match results will be taken into account. Playoff A best-of-three game series between the loser of the HockeyAllsvenkan final and the winner of the ****spelserie will determine which other team will progress to DirektKval. The winner of the playoff series will move on, the loser will return back to Allsvenskan the following season. DirektKval DirektKval will see the 13th and 14th placed teams from the SHL regular season join the HockeyAllsvenskan Champion and the winner of the Playoff in a one off best-of-seven series. The two winners will play in the SHL the following year, while the losing teams will be relegated down or back to HockeyAllsvenskan." source: http://www.shl.se/blog/5/2014/06/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Riz Remes Posted April 18, 2015 SI Staff Share Posted April 18, 2015 Yes, but we are not currently putting in 2015/16 rules in to the game as the start date is still in 2014. The next season rules will only be implemented in the 2015 rules set, which will be worked on during Early Access and implemented once we move into a 2015 setting for the leagues. The new Swedish league rules have been taken into consideration and the new database system will support the new structures when it comes the time to implement them.
