The number of match days is falling, the pulse of fans and players is increasing: the closer the end of the season gets, the more exciting the situation is for many district football teams.

District

– Also the question of the case in the event of a tie.

While TSV Poing, as the first climber in the district and SV Hohenlinden, and TSV Oberpframmern II are practically certain to be relegated, many clubs are still fighting to move up or down.

At the forefront is VfB Forstinning in the district league east.

After the game in Waldperlach, which was canceled due to the storm, VfB is tied with ESV Freilassing at the top of the table, but has two games less.

But what would happen if there was a tie at the end of the season?

According to the promotion and relegation regulation decided by the district committee of the association on July 18, 2021, in addition to the rules of the game, the direct comparison counts in the event of a tie.

And now opinions are divided: In the event of another neutralization in a direct comparison, the European Cup mode applies according to this rule.

Because this has been changed since June 2021, the so-called away goal rule no longer counts.

Ergo, if there were a tie between two teams, more away goals would be irrelevant, after that the total goal difference applies.

In contrast to this, however, are the rules of the game of the BFV in the version from January 2022. The wording of the European Cup mode has been deleted here, "in the event of a tie on points and goals, the goals scored away from home count double".

An obvious contradiction that could still get the Bavarian Association into trouble.

A call to Wolf-Peter Schulte, the chairman of the district gaming committee, did not bring any final clarification either.

According to Schulte, the association intended to retain the European Cup regulation that applied up to and including the 2020/21 season.

Obviously in the knowledge of the new regulation in the European Cup, but without the corresponding consequence in the formulation for the ascents and descents in July 2021.

This uncertainty also affects the football district of Munich, i.e. all classes from the district league down.

According to the district chairman, Frank Ludewig, the BFV district has no way of influencing this either.

And now VfB Forstinning has come full circle: Should the district representative end the season with equal points at the top with ESV Freilassing, the direct comparison would be used.

Forstinning won 3-1 at home, ESV won 2-0 in Freilassing.

Depending on the interpretation, if the actually binding regulation at the beginning of the season was followed, VfB would be up front due to the significantly better overall goal ratio.

VfB coach Ivica Coric also assumes this scenario.

If, on the other hand, the football association should ignore the regulation formulated at the beginning of the season, the Forstinninger opponent ESV Freilassing would have been promoted.

So many conjunctions that the current table leader VfB could make waste by taking a point advantage for the sake of simplicity.

But then the uncertainties of all other classes remain.

Legal aftermath could well be conceivable.
