There are currently 12 teams playing in a triple round for the Hungarian championship. The placement criteria for teams with equal points are a special feature: if two or more clubs have the same number of points, the next classification is not based on the higher goal difference or the direct comparison , but first according to the higher number of wins. Only when these are also the same does the better goal difference decide.
