The German Softball Bundesliga 2016 was the 18th season of the Softball Bundesliga . Regular time began on April 16 and lasted until August 14. Then from August 27 to September 25, the German champions were determined in the play-offs. The Wesseling Vermins started the season as defending champions . With the rise of the Stuttgart Reds , the number of teams increased to 8, which is why the season was played on two tracks.
Regular season
The regular season was played as a round-robin tournament with four rounds, with each team playing against every other team in their division twice at home and twice away. On each match day, two games were played as a double header , which means that two teams faced each other eight times.
Play-offs
In the play-offs, the runners-up from one division initially competed in the quarter-finals against the third-placed runners from the other division in best-of-three mode . In the semifinals, the winners met the first placed in the preliminary round and determined the participants in the final, which was also played out as the best-of-five, in best-of-five mode.
