Regardless of this, the Executive Committee of the DFL is ruling out using the table from the first half of the season as a basis for final standings or invalidating the entire season if suspension is unavoidable. If all the clubs in a league have not completed the same number of matches and the season ends early, a compensation mechanism such as quotients would be needed.
Other European leagues have shown that legal disputes cannot generally be ruled out if the season is suspended – regardless of the regulation adopted. The Executive Committee of the DFL has no doubt that all efforts made in the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 should be aimed at continuing the season so that their end results are based on sporting competition.
