Play-offs

Starting from this season,a play-off group will be held between the teams which finished in positions 3-6 for the last promotion spot, and a play-out group between the teams which finished in positions 13-16 for the last relegation spot. The same system which is used to the European play-off of First Division (see Super League Greece) will be applied. The play-off and play-out of Second Division (Football League). Teams play each other in a home and away round robin. However, they do not all start with 0 points. Instead, a weighting system applies to the teams' standing at the start of the play-off mini-league. The team finishing sixth in the Football League will start the play-off with 0 points. The sixth placed team's end of season tally of points is subtracted from the sum of the points that other teams have. The only difference with European play-off of Super League is that this number is then divided by four (instead to five in Super League), to give the other teams the points with which they start the mini-league. If necessary, points will be rounded. As a result, the teams will start the promotional play-offs with the following number of points: * OFI – 3 points ((62–50) / 4 ) * Ethikos Peiraeus – 1 point ((53–50) / 4 = 0.75, rounded to 1) * Panserraikos– 1 point ((52–50) / 4 = 0.5, rounded to 1) * Pierikos – 0 points ((50–50) / 4 = 0) Also, the teams will start the relegation play-offs with the following number of points: * Thrasyvoulos - 2 points ((41-34) / 4 = 1.75, rounded to 2) * Doxa Dramas - 2 points ((40-34) / 4 = 1.5, rounded to 2) * Ionikos - 1 point ((39-34) / 4=1.25, rounded to 1) * Rodos - 0 points ((34–34) / 4 = 0)
