Organisation
Ice hockey in Switzerland is partially promotion and relegation-based. The top level is the National League, which is divided in two: the National League A, which counts 12 teams, and the National League B, also with 12 teams. Promotion and relegation exists between these two levels. Below the National League comes the Regio League. There are four of these, numbered 1 to 4. The 1.Liga is divided into three regional groups, Ostschweiz, Zentralschweiz and Suisse Romande; all the leagues below are also subdivided into groups, all of which falling into one of the three regions of the 1.Liga. Here is a schema that illustrates the organization of Swiss hockey:
