División de Plata de Balonmano, is the second level handball league in Spain. It was founded in 1994 and is managed by RFEBM. From 1994 until 2008–09 season, this competition was known as División de Honor B. From 2009–10 season onwards, will be called División de Plata.[1]
The División de Plata, which is played under EHF rules, currently consists of 16 teams, including ones like CD Bidasoa, Barakaldo-UPV, Forcusa Huesca, and PRASA Pozoblanco.
[edit] Liga championship rules
Each team of every division has to play with all the other teams of its division twice, once at home and the other at the opponent's stadium. This means that in División de Plata de Balonmano the league ends after every team plays 30 matches.
Like Liga ASOBAL, the División de Plata de Balonmano takes a winter break once each team has played half its schedule. One unusual feature of the league is that the two halves of the season are played in the same order—that is, the order of each team's first-half fixtures is repeated in the second half of the season, with the only difference being the stadiums used.
Each victory adds 2 points to the team in the league ranking. Each drawn adds 1 point.head-to-head. At the end of the league, the winner is:
- The team that has most points in the ranking.
- If two or more teams are level on points, the winner is the team that has the best results
- If there is no winner after applying the second rule, then the team with the best overall goal difference wins.
