 For example, in the Netherlands, only one club is automatically relegated from its top level, the Eredivisie, each season, with the winner of the second-flight being promoted.The next two lower-placed teams enter a promotion/relegation mini-league with high-placed teams from the Dutch First Division

J.League in Japan used a test match series between the third-from-bottom team in J1 and third-place team in J2 (see J.League Promotion/Relegation Series) from 2004 to 2008.
