Participant of the Bayernliga 2012/13

mode

As in previous years, the league plays a single round. The first ten teams qualify for the subsequent intermediate round, which then play off two participants in the play-offs in two groups. The semi-finals and the game for third place will be played in “Best of Three” mode, while the final of the play-offs will be played out in “Best of Five” mode. Originally, the last five teams in the preliminary round should play the relegation round. While the winner of the relegation round would have qualified for the Bayern League, the remaining teams would have played the relegation semi-finals (2nd place against 5 and 3 against 4) in the "Best of Three" mode. The winners of the relegation semi-final would have played the positions 12 and 13 in the "Best of Three" mode, while the losers of the relegation semi-final would have played the relegation final according to the "Best of Five" mode. The loser of the relegation final would have been relegated to the national league . With the withdrawal of the team from ESV Königsbrunn in December 2012, the team’s games are no longer valued and the team has been determined to be relegated. Therefore, there will now be a relegation round as a single round (6 game days), the loser of which should be relegated.
