Japan 2005

J.League (Japan Professional Football League) Division 1
========================================================

From this season, the league system is changed in several points.

1. The number of Division 1 (J1) teams is increased from 16 (1999-2004 
   seasons for six years) to 18. 
2. The rank is decided in one stage system. 
   Two stage system and League Championship (battle between winners of
   each stage) have been played since 1993 (except 1996 season - 
   by one stage system), this league was founded. 
3. Promotion/Relegation Play-off is scheduled on December 7 and 10.
   J1 16th rank team and J2 3rd rank team fight each other to obtain 
   final seat of J1 in next year.
4. Bottom two - the 17th and 18th teams are relegated to J2 in next 
   season automatically.
   Instead of these, Champion and Runners-up clubs of J2 are promoted
   to J1 in next year.
