1st division (handball)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1st division is the second highest division in Danish men's handball. Until the introduction of the Håndboldligaen in the 1998/99 season, it was the top division in the league system.

Until 1998

The league started in 1947 with nine teams that determined the Danish champions in a simple round (without second legs). A second half of the season has been held since 1951/52, the number of participants increased to ten in 1950/51 and to twelve teams in 1990/91. After the introduction of the Håndboldligaen for the 1998/99 season, the 1st division was only second class.

Since 1998

Up to and including 2003/04 the league was played in two seasons (vest and øst, dt. West and East), since then it has only consisted of one season with 14 teams that meet in the mode everyone against everyone . The master rises directly to the Håndboldligaen, the two (up to and including 2013/14 three) next best teams take part in the relegation games to the highest national league. Since 2014/15 these have been played in two direct duels, the winners of which qualify for the following season of the Håndboldligaen:

  • 2nd place in the 1st division against 13th place in the Håndboldligaen
  • 3rd place in the 1st division against 12th place in the Håndboldligaen

The three last placed go straight to the 2nd division and are replaced by the champions of the three seasons of the 2nd division. The three runners-up in the 2nd division determine two participants in relegation games with the tenth and eleventh place in the 1st division:

  • 11th place against the best runner-up in the 2nd division
  • 10th place against the second best runner-up in the 2nd division

Should a reserve team of a first or second division win the championship in one of the seasons of the 2nd division, this is not eligible for promotion. In this case, the number of direct relegators is reduced and the entitlements for direct relegation or for participation in the qualifying games are shifted downwards accordingly. If all three seasons of the 2nd division are won by reserve teams, there would be no direct relegation.
