BUNDESLIGA

:''For the German Football Bundesliga, see Fußball-Bundesliga. For all other Bundesligen, see below.''
The 'Bundesliga' (plural: -ligen) (''Federal League'', meaning nation-wide league) is the name for the premier league of any sport in Germany or Austria. Used on its own, ''Bundesliga'' usually refers to Germany's highest football league.
Most often, German champions and Austrian champions are determined by a team winning their Bundesliga regular season organized as a round-robin tournament. Each participating team plays two games (one at home, one away) against each of the other teams in the league. Points are earned from match results (for example, in the football Bundesliga, a team which wins a match receives 3 points, with teams receiving 1 point each for a draw) and the team with the most points at the end of the season wins the championship without any further playoffs or a final.
In Germany and Austria the ''Bundesligen'' are the elite sporting competitions (leagues) in a given sport while, depending on the sport, the second division may be known as the 2nd Bundesliga, or alternatively as a Regionalliga (or regional league).
