Teams ranked 17th to 20th after the regular season will be automatically relegated to the lower divisions and they will be replaced by the champions from these divisions. However, these relegated teams will play the playoff for final ranking on positions 17th to 20th. The 17th ranked team, as a rule, is relegated to the league with the highest number. If, for instance, this team plays in II.3, it is relegated to III.12. On the other hand, the 20th ranked team from II.3 is relegated to III.9.
