 After the regular league, the six leading of the league teams go to a play-off which decides what team will be the Norwegian champion.From the start in 1912, bandy in Norway was played with seven players on each team and was called «ishockey» (literally "ice hockey"), but the sport was actually bandy.Starting in 1929, eleven-man teams have been used, just as in other countries, and the same year Norges Ishockeyforbund was renamed Norges Bandyforbund.
