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:
“The United States is unusual among the industrial democracies in the rigidity of the system of ideological control—”indoctrination” we might say—exercised through the mass media.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“The dominant metaphor of conceptual relativism, that of differing points of view, seems to betray an underlying paradox. Different points of view make sense, but only if there is a common co-ordinate system on which to plot them; yet the existence of a common system belies the claim of dramatic incomparability.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
