Norwegian model
When Norwegian model occur in football teams with different players to compete against each other. Due to demographic change and changed leisure behavior, it is becoming increasingly important.
Details
Normally two teams with eleven players each play against each other in football. We neglect alternating players in this consideration. On the small field, the two teams consist of the same number of players, which is less than eleven players per team. In a small field relay , all teams play in all games with the same number of players on the small field.
Competitions based on the Norwegian model offer participants the choice of the number of players with which to compete. The offer determines the player strengths offered. In a game between two teams, the smaller of the two players' strengths decides the number of players with both teams on the field.
Example: In a league, for example, teams of 11, 9 and 7 could be registered. In all games with teams of 7, both teams always play with 7 players on the field. Games with teams of 9 provide for 9 players per team on the field of play, unless the opponent is a team of 7. Teams of 11 play among themselves with 11 players. Teams of 11 reduce their number of players in games against teams of 9 and 7 to the number of players of the respective opponent.
The Norwegian model is used in both league and cup competitions. Leagues based on the Norwegian model are called Norwegian relays .
The nominal strength of a team is usually determined when registering. Only a few competitions allow changes to this assignment during operation. All teams do not always have the same rights. In the women's district league Hochrhein 2014/15, for example, both teams on the normal field with eleven players and small-field teams compete. However, only the 11-man teams are eligible for promotion.
application
Due to the demographic change and changed leisure interests, the clubs have fewer players available. The Norwegian model is one way in which the clubs can continue to participate in the competition under these difficult conditions. The Norwegian model is mainly used by juniors and women, sometimes also by men. The use of the model is usually limited to the lower classes. Sometimes it is also used in cup competitions. For example, teams of 11, 9 and 7 players participate in the B-Juniorinnen-Pokal of the Badischer Fußballverband .
Alternatives
Critics see the danger with the Norwegian model that it is at the expense of underperforming players when teams increase their performance by reducing their nominal strength. However, this also applies to some of the alternatives mentioned below. Furthermore, there is a risk of distortion of competition if teams can flexibly choose their target strength from game to game.
Gambling communities
Several clubs form joint teams. Compared to the Norwegian model, the identity of the clubs involved is completely or partially lost. On the other hand, syndicates require fewer players per club in order to be able to participate in gaming operations. Even with syndicates there is a risk that players will be lost to the sport of football. Syndicates can also take part in competitions based on the Norwegian model.
Small field relays
With the juniors, it is sometimes common to offer parallel competitions with different team strengths. Distortions of competition and the premature sorting of underperforming players by downsizing teams are not possible here. However, this only applies to the current season. In addition, enough teams must be available for the parallel competitions. In some areas this is no longer possible. This is especially true for the A-Juniors.
Second play right
In the case of second game rights, players may be used for two different clubs. On the one hand, it is intended for commuters such as students. It can also be used if a club cannot provide a team for a year. Like the Norwegian model, the second game right is usually limited to the lower seasons. As with the Norwegian model, the players stay with their club.
