League Format
The reduced number of teams have led to a revised league format for the 2010-11 season:
The regular season will see each team play every club five times with an additional four games against geographically determined 'derby' teams for a total of 39 games. The top six teams will progress to the next round. The six teams will be divided into two pools where they will play in a home and home round-robin format. The top teams in each group will carry over three points while the second-placed teams will carry over one point. At the conclusion of the group stage, the top two teams in each group will move on to the semifinals which will be played in the best-of-seven format.League format (in Danish)
The derby pools are:
- Hvidovre and Rødovre
- Frederikshavn and AaB Aalborg
- Herning, Esbjerg, SønderjyskE and Odense.

Famous quotes containing the word league:
“We’re the victims of a disease called social prejudice, my child. These dear ladies of the law and order league are scouring out the dregs of the town. C’mon be a glorified wreck like me.”
