League format : Soccer / Football : Austria : Bundesliga 2011/2012
The Austrian leagues were reorganized in 1991, with the founding of a newly independent Bundesliga. Presently, the Bundesliga (First Division) is the top level in Austrian football. Like the Swiss Super League, the Austrian season starts in July because of a long mid-winter break. The competition involves ten teams, who play each other four times on a home and away basis during the season. Each team gets three points for a victory, one point for a tie, and zero points for a loss.
The team with the highest total point at the end of a 38-game season is the Austrian Bundesliga champion. The first-placed club also gains the qualifying rounds of the Champions League. The second and third-placed teams, as well as the Austrian cup winner, play qualifications for the UEFA Cup. The bottom placed team in the Bundesliga is directly relegated to the division below. Meanwhile, the champion of the Austrian First League (Second Division) is promoted to the top flight.
