Who starts at home first in the playoffs?

The team that finished the DEL main round in a higher position in the table has the so-called home right. This club starts the playoff round on the first date in front of its own spectators. After that, the venues alternate.

Who qualifies for the playoffs?

Whoever is in the top 10 of the table after the 52 games of the DEL main round has qualified for the playoffs. The field is then initially divided into two groups. The top six automatically qualify for the playoff quarter-finals, while seventh to tenth place play in the first playoff round. The team in seventh place in the table plays against the team in tenth place in the table for a place in the quarter-finals - eighth place faces ninth place. The last two quarter-finalists will be determined in a best-of-three series, in which two wins are required to reach the next round. EHC Red Bull Munich has qualified for the quarter-finals for the eleventh time in a row.

How does the game mode work in the playoffs?

The playoffs also change the game mode. The first play-off round is best-of-three (two wins to progress), from the quarter-finals onwards it is best-of-seven (four wins required). In addition, in the event of a draw after 60 minutes, there will no longer be a five-minute overtime period followed by a penalty shoot-out. Instead, the game will continue to be played five-on-five. In further "thirds" of 20 minutes each, the game is played until one team scores and wins. This means that the length of a play-off game can vary greatly. On 22 March 2008, the third quarter-final duel between the Cologne Sharks and the Adler Mannheim made history as the longest game in the DEL to date, lasting 168 minutes and 16 seconds in a total of nine periods. Other special features: The obligatory "shake hands" and celebrations with the fans do not take place after the games, but only at the end of the respective series.
