2nd Water Polo League West
The 2nd Water Polo League West (short 2. WBLW ) is one of the four second highest German leagues in the team sport water polo and thus the foundation of the German Water Polo League (DWL), as well as the highest division in West Germany. It was created in 2006 after a reform of the DWL as the successor to the former Regionalliga West. The league is designed for ten clubs and is made up of clubs from the North Rhine-Westphalia Swimming Association .
mode
In the 2018/19 season, ten clubs will play the West German champions. The field of participants plays in the "everyone against everyone" mode in a round-trip round. The best team ( no second representation ) is entitled to participate in the relegation tournament to the German Water Polo League (DWL) . The four qualified teams of the four second leagues (north, east, west and south) and the penultimate of the DWL take part in this and play the two places for the following season in the upper house. The question of relegation will only be clarified after the season and is based on any relegated teams from the DWL and the number of teams from the subordinate upper league who are willing to advance.
