Kvalserien

The Kvalserien is a Swedish round-robin hockey tournament used for qualification to the Elitserien. The last two teams from that league face the four best from the Allsvenskan. Each team face each other twice; the teams finishing first and second earn the right to play in the Elitserien the next season, while the other four head to the Allsvenskan.

There is also a similar contest to determine promotion from the Division 1 to the Allsvenskan.
