National Cup fixtures can overlap the championship, and the top six in each Elite division qualify for an international cup in the following season. Calendar
Why is my club in a different country#
After vertical movement is settled, horizontal rotation rebuilds the divisions within each tier. A country belongs to its division, so being placed in another same-level division can also change your country. Each Elite division champion remains where it won. The pyramid
What does the red R on a player mean#
