I was trying to explain to someone what relegation was due to a commercial they saw on NBCSN.

If you finish in bottom 3 of the league you are moved down to the "minor" leagues. The players become free agents as they are now not on contract with EPL clubs. The teams that replace the three are the top 3 finishers of the "minor league" by average of a couple years and winner of the league playoff.

I hope I am somewhat right, but probably not.

you're right except you still have your players under contract for the most part

also promotion is based on one year, not an average

With respect to the BPL, the top 2 teams from the division just below automatically move up. Teams 3-6 hold a 4-team playoff to decide who gets the 3rd promotion spot. all of that is based on this year's results. Nothing else.

I differs from league to league. The traditional format is the bottom three teams get relegated and the top two in the lower league get automatically promoted. Teams #3-6 have a playoff to determine the final promotion spot.

Some players have release clauses if their team gets relegated. Many do not and either play in the lower league for the same money or request a transfer.

I think Mexico and Argentina might do relegation based on previous season averages.

In England there are 7 tiers, 3 or so that are considered semi-pro. The others are professional. I wouldn't call those minor league but obviously lesser teams.

You don't lose all your players, but teams make much less money in lower leagues so you have to trade away a lot of talent to pay bills.

I prefer how they do it in Germany and maybe other leagues. Last place is relegated and replaced by first place in the second tier.

2nd to last goes in to a playoff with the 2nd place team from the second tier and same for 3rd to last and 3rd place.

It's a cool system but I don't think that I prefer it. It pits teams with bigger budgets from the 1.bund against those with smaller budgets from the 2.bund. If you weren't good enough to stay up against competition in your own level, sorry, you should go down a league. Likewise a second division team shouldn't play great the entire year only to miss out on promotion because of a one-off series against a team with double its budget and bundesliga level TV revenues.

Unsure about Mexico, but with Argentina you are 100% correct. Relegation is based on a trailing three-year average.

ETA: I should note it is possible to get relegated after just one full year, but it does not completely penalize for one horrible campaign.

Aren't the bottom 2 in the Bundesliga relegated with only the 3rd from bottom (Hamburg this year) subject to a playoff?
