The 2nd women's Bundesliga 2020 is the 14th season in the second highest division of American football in Germany for women. The first game of the 2020 season will take place on April 26th at 3 p.m. between Saarland Ladycanes and Trier Stampers.
Game mode
DBL2 2020 is divided into four groups: North, West, South-East and South-West. Each team plays against each team in its own group in the first and second round. After the end of the regular season, the top two of the four DBL2 groups play off the champions of the 2nd women's Bundesliga in the play-off in the knockout system. The first in group north plays against the second in group west in the first quarter-finals and the first in group west against the second in group north in the second quarter-finals. The third quarter-finals will be played by the winner of the South-West group against the second in the South-East group. The first of the group south-east plays in the fourth quarter-finals against the second of the group south-west.
The winners of the 1st and 2nd quarter-finals play in the 1st semifinals and the winners of the 3rd and 4th quarter-finals in the 2nd semifinals. The winners from both semi-finals play for the DBL2 championship. In addition, since 2018 both teams have been obliged to advance to the 1st women's Bundesliga.
Since 2010, the minimum game strength on gameday has been 16 players. The game is 9 tackle (9 on 9) of 4 × 10 minutes. If a team leads with more than 35 points, the so-called Mercy Rule comes into force (although it is carried out unofficially, as it was not officially listed in the statutes).
