    Every game Gent, Genk, Anderlech, Club Brugge, and a few others play. Seems like nobody gets knocked out

    Anybody have any idea how this format works? I liked the Belgium League season, but really don't care for playoffs, especially in Europe.

      Belgian playoffs are not a knockout system. First 6 teams of the regular competition play another competition, where they start with half the points received in the normal competition (rounded up) and play each other 2 more times. Winner of this playoff competition will be the champions.

      If that's not enough there are two more playoff systems in Belgium:
      - Numbers 7 through 14 also have playoffs. They start with 0 points and play each other once in two leagues of 4 teams. Winners of these two leagues compete in one final game, and the winner of that game plays the number 4 of the 'championship playoffs' for the final Euroleague spot.
      - Numbers 15 and 16 play each other 5 times to determine who gets relegated, with the number 15 getting a 3 point headstart. Winner of this series must then compete with 3 teams from the second league for a final spot in the Jupiler Pro League of next season.


      Easy, huh?

            I'll most likely be on Genk PK tonight, and I'm also interested to see what lines are available for Vossen to score or Ogunjimi to score.
