The System
Below shows how the current system works. For each division, its English name, official name or sponsorship name (which often differs radically from its official name) and number of clubs is given. Each division promotes to the division(s) that lie directly above them and relegates to the division(s) that lie directly below them. Only two teams are promoted from 3. deild (division 3). The top two teams from each group play in a knock-out competition (played home and away) with the final being one match determining the division 3 champions. Both finalists are promoted to 2. deild. The two teams relegated from 2. deild take a place in their provincial group. The groups can change from year to year based on the number of teams in each area. KSÍ (the FA) attempts to distribute the teams evenly between groups.

Famous quotes containing the word system:
“Social and scientific progress are assured, sir, once our great system of postpossession payments is in operation, not the installment plan, no sir, but a system of small postpossession payments that clinch the investment. No possible rational human wish unfulfilled. A man with a salary of fifty dollars a week can start payments on a Rolls-Royce, the Waldorf-Astoria, or a troupe of trained seals if he so desires.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“He could jazz up the map-reading class by having a full-size color photograph of Betty Grable in a bathing suit, with a co- ordinate grid system laid over it. The instructor could point to different parts of her and say, “Give me the co-ordinates.”... The Major could see every unit in the Army using his idea.... Hot dog!”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
