The number of participating teams was initially reduced to eleven and from the 1935/36 season to ten clubs. From 1939 the league was divided into the Saarpfalz and Mainhessen squadrons , in which initially seven teams were represented, from 1940 eight each. The two season winners played the final round participants in the two legs. In 1941 the Gauliga Südwest was dissolved and a new division made. The Gauliga Westmark emerged from the Saarpfalz squadron , while the Mainhessen squadron was incorporated into the Gauliga Hessen-Nassau with part of the Gauliga Hessen , which was also dissolved .
