League standings

Period winners

The competition is divided into six periods of six matches each. The winner of each period qualifies for the playoffs at the end of the season. If the winner of a period has already won a prior period in the season, the second placed team in the period is awarded the playoff slot. If the second placed team has also won a prior period, no winner is called, and the playoff slot is decided by league standing at the end of the season. If a team that has won a period goes on to win the league title and secure promotion to the Eredivisie, the playoff spot is awarded to the highest placed team on the final league standings that hasn't already qualified for the playoffs.
