Eternal table of the second highest soccer league in Switzerland

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The NLB was founded in 1944. The following “perpetual table” takes into account all games in the second highest Swiss football league since the 1944/1945 season. The points were all calculated using the 3-point rule. For the time of the «dash» all games of the qualification round, the promotion / relegation round of the NLA / NLB and the relegation round of the NLB were counted. Playoffs and relegation games were not included. Until 2003 the second highest league was called NLB, then Challenge League.
