Crazy how the 6th place team in the championship round doesn’t get an opportunity to play in europe but teams in the relegation round do😂😂

[Mawgamann]

Austria definitely produced some special talents over the years 🔥🔥 unorthodox league compared to other countries in Europe but maybe sticking to what works for them 👏🏽

Why do they half the points before the split?

The 5th place from the championship round along with the 1st and 2nd of the relegation round, are not gonna play extra games resulting in a total number of played games higher than 32 games? In season 2021-22, 1st and 2nd from relegation round played a semi-final then the winner played a final with the 5th placed team from the championship round to win a ticket to Europa Conference League 2022-23 Qualifiers.

You didn´t understand the concept at all.
Because you have absolutely no clue about the league in behalf of how balanced the strength of those teams are within the league.
There are NO 3-4 levels as like as in bigger leagues =
1. a bunch of championship contenders +
2. a bunch of EC cup contenders +
3. a bunch of save mid-table teams +
4. a bunch of relegation contenders
but only basically 2 levels =
1.very few Championship contenders (=1 or 2 maybe rarely 3 teams ) +
2.the rest are all EC cup contenders (=always very close together in the table, in this regular season 24/25 for instance between the 4th and the 9th are just 3 points difference after 13 rounds of 22 rounds and from 4th to the 10th just 6 points difference so actually the 4th of this round can be 9th after the next round and vice versa)
and usually only 1 or maybe 2 teams who are relegation contenders.

Therefore there is no "religation play off round" in Austria´s league.

Because a religation play off for just 2 teams is senseless, therefore the second tier play off is about EC qualification for the Conference League due to that those 3-5 teams who end up in the second tier Play off are basically on the same level as like as those last 3 teams in the Championship Play off.

After the regular season the table got splitted into "Championship play off round" + "Qualification play off round" with 6 contenders each and the teams are taking half of their points from the regular season as a headstart into those 2 play off rounds.

Therefore due to that half of the points from the regular seasons are then the headstart points for the play offs only maybe the last 2 teams but way more often just the very last one of the "Qualification Play off round" is already the religation contender even before that play off starts because he is due to his headstart points from the regular season already way too far behind =

=Therefore=
there is no "Religation play off round" because usually at least 4 of those 6 or way more often even 5 of those 6 are not in any danger to get religated due to their headstart points but actually fighting for the 2 spot for the final of that play off round

Actually the Qualification play off round is solely played for qualifying for the "Qualification play off final" in order to participate in the "Confrerence league Quali-Final" and who ever happens to be last in that table after that play off is finished gets religated and there is usually no competition in that particular religation regard or just 2 teams are then fighting for staying in the league, while the rest is fighting for participating in the final.

The "Qualification play off Final" is then played out in one final match between the first 2 of the "Qualification play off round" after that Play off round is finished.

The winner of that "Qualidication play off Final" is then fighting in the "Conference league Quali-Final" for qualifying for the Conference League. That very last final is then played out between the winner of that "Qualification play off final" against the Conference league contender of the "Championship play off round" and the winner of that final participates in the Conference league.
