Playoffs for the Oberliga Westfalen

Promotion to the Association League

The introduction of the Oberliga Westfalen also had an impact on the national leagues. Due to the many vacancies, there was an increased promotion to the association league in the 1977/78 season. Unlike in previous years, not only the five relay champions, but also the respective runners-up and third parties rose directly into the association league. The fourth in the table identified further climbers in a promotion round. The following table shows the first four places in the five national league seasons of the 1977/78 season:
