EHM The Blue Line

Swedish Allsvenskan has been reduced to 14 teams. The games has 16 spots, so 2 teams need to be promoted from the first division. Which ones?

Huddinge IK, Nybro Vikings, and Mariestad BoIS were all relegated this season, so they are the alternatives.

Final table 2008-2009 season.

1 Leksands IF 101p
2 A I K IF 94p
3 VIK Västerås HK 82p
4 Mora IK 80p
5 Växjö Lakers HC 79p
6 Almtuna IS 78p
7 IF Troja/Ljungby 73p
8 IF Malmö Redhawks 72p
9 IF Björklöven 66p
10 Bofors IK 62p
11 Borås HC 61p
12 IF Sundsvall Hockey 60p
13 IK Oskarshamn 56p
---------------------------------------------------
14 Huddinge IK 44p
15 Nybro Vikings IF 42p
16 Mariestad BoIS HC 30p

Mariestad are far behind, but maybe we have some Mariestad fans here...
Örebro were promoted, so they are already in Allsvenskan.

I voted against Mariestad. The better teams should be staying up

Seems like this one is decided already. Mariestad will play in the first division.

What about basing it off the standings from the Kvalseren, which would put Nybro Vikings and Valbo AIF into Allsvenskan? That is how it would be done in real life (based upon Huddinges promotion last year due to Nykopings being knocked down due to finances)

As Valbo finished dead last in kvakserien, I guess you need Nybro and Tingsryd, but I'll go with Huddinge instead. They are a more established club. Thanks for the suggestion though.
