The Bundesliga marks one of the largest football leagues in the world, hosting some of the largest clubs in the world such as Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. The professional association football league; based in Germany acts as the primary football competition in Germany. The league consists of 18 teams and is based on a relegation and promotion system that works with the
2.Bundesliga. Differing from the common method in leagues where the bottom 3 teams are relegated and the top 3 in the second league are promoted, the Bundesliga system employs a two legged play off system instead. Meaning that the bottom 2 two teams of the Bundesliga get relegated and the top 2 teams of 2.Bundesliga get promoted instantly. The team at 16th place gets a chance to prevent relegation by playing against the team at 3rd place which has a chance of promotion. Therefore spot 16 is known as the relegation play-off place. Teams have the chance to play each other during the season which runs from August to May, the league is ended on match-day 34.
