The Judo Bundesliga is the highest league for judo teams in Germany. It is organized by the German Judo Association and determines the German team champion.
structure
The Bundesliga is divided into a north and a south group, with nine clubs for men and six for women.
In the men's category, the first two teams from the north and south relays qualify directly for the final round. The final round of the last four teams will then be fought out in just one day, similar to the Final Four in other sports. The first-placed team competes against the second-placed team of the other season. For women, the best three clubs in the north group and the best three clubs in the south group automatically qualify for the final round, which is organized by the first place in the south group in even years and by the first place in the north group in odd years. In this final round, the two first-placed teams from the north and south seasons are set for the semi-finals, the second and third-placed teams of the seasons fight against each other in a knockout mode and thus determine the semi-final opponents, who will then also be played.
The German champion as well as the second and third placed have the right to represent Germany in the European championship, which the European Judo Union has made the official European championship for clubs since 2010.
The two last-placed teams in the men's Bundesliga North and South are relegated directly to the 2nd Bundesliga. In the women's category, the team placed last will be relegated directly to the 2nd Judo Bundesliga.
Structural changes
Reform 2012
In 2012, the men's judo Bundesliga was subjected to a reform, in which the quarter-finals, which were played as a knockout round until 2011, are played back and forth. As before, the four remaining teams will fight for the title of German champion in one day and in one place. Also in 2012, the north and south groups were reduced from 8 to 6 teams each.
Reform 2014
For women, the reduction from 9 to 6 teams took place in 2014. At the same time, the previous combat system, in which 3 teams fight each other for one round, was replaced by the system already used by men, with 2 teams going back and forth replaced. The women's final round will still take place on one day with 6 participating teams. The first two from the north and south seasons are each set for the semifinals. The second and third placed teams fight against each other for the two other places in the semi-finals. Before that, the final rounds were held in 2 pools with 3 teams each. The winners of these pools then played the final.
Reform 2018
In 2018, the men's Bundesliga will be changed so that 9 instead of the previous 6 teams will participate per season. There are no quarter-finals, so the first and second-placed teams in each season are directly qualified for the Final Four. The structure of the second division will be changed by the addition of the first division. Depending on the number of registered teams, 3 to 4 relays are formed in the 2nd division, ideally designed for 9 teams. Previously this was divided into north and south seasons and was geared to 8 teams per season. One of the aims of this reform is to reduce the level differences between the 1st and 2nd leagues.

Combat mode
A Bundesliga match is held in two rounds. The individual fights of the 7 different weight classes (for men: -60 kg, -66 kg, -73 kg, -81 kg, -90 kg, -100 kg and +100 kg; for women: -48 kg, - 52 kg, -57 kg, -63 kg, -70 kg, -78 kg and +78 kg) are played one after the other, with the order of the weight classes always being drawn shortly before the start of the fight. In the second round, each team has to replace at least three fighters so that three athletes fight who were not involved in the first round (only two for women).
For each individual fight won there is one point in the team ranking, i. H. a team can achieve a maximum of 14 points per team fight. In the event of a tie, neither team receives a point.
history
The most successful club in the history of the men's judo Bundesliga is TSV Abensberg , which has been German champion 21 times since 1991, has been in the final round for 22 years and has won the European Cup in Germany seven times, and because of the professionalism of its team also known as the FC Bayern Munich of Judo . Before the 2015 season, the club surprisingly decided to withdraw from the 1st Judo Bundesliga and started in the Regionalliga Süd. This was done to ensure that his top fighters were optimally prepared for the 2016 Olympic Games . The team from Abensberg has been back in the 1st Bundesliga since 2017.
The VfL Wolfsburg , which was from 1972 to 1990 eleven times German champions and three times won the European Champion Clubs' Cup to Germany, was replaced by TSV Abensberg. VFL Wolfsburg is no longer represented in the Bundesliga today. TSV München Großhadern also has 11 championship titles in the all-time list of the best. The Munich club last won the title of German team champion in October 2015. After the Hamburg judo team won the championship three times in a row from 2016 to 2018, the current title holder is again the record champion TSV Abensberg. It is remarkable that between 2011 and 2019 the runner-up title went to KSV Esslingen seven times.
In the women's category , the Judo Crocodiles Osnabrück are the record champions with 6 titles won. However, these successes date back to 1992-2000 and today the club is no longer represented in the Bundesliga. The teams of PSG Dynamo Brandenburg and JC Leipzig follow with 4 titles each. These two teams also waived their right to start in recent years and dropped out of the Bundesliga (Brandenburg 2016 and Leipzig 2017). The current title holder is JSV Speyer, which won the Bundesliga for the second time in 2019. In the final against TSG Backnang, the undervaluations were decisive in the end (70:64) after the fights ended 7: 7.
