The German football League (GFL) is the elite bundesliga for American football in Germany.
League set-up
The GFL is partitioned into north and south conferences, each with six teams. In each conference, every team plays against every other team of the own conference, both at home and away. Each team also plays 2 interconference games, so that the regular season covers 12 games. After the end of the regular season, four teams from both conferences enter the playoffs, to determine the German championship. The winner of a conference plays against the 4th place team of the other group, second against third of the other conference. The final is called the German Bowl. The lowest ranked team of each conference plays against the winner of the second division, and may be relegated if they lose.
