Editing Playoffs (section)

=== Greece ===
Starting in [[2007–08 Super League Greece|the 2007–08 season]], [[Super League Greece]] instituted a playoff system to determine all of its places in European competition for the following season, except for those of the league champion and the [[Greek Football Cup|cup winner]]. Currently, the league is entitled to two Champions League places and three in the Europa League, with one of the Europa League places reserved for the cup winner. The playoff currently takes the form of a home-and-away mini-league involving the second- through fifth-place teams, under the following conditions:
* The fifth-place team starts the playoffs at 0 points.
* The remaining teams start with a number of "bonus points" determined as follows:
** The number of points earned by the fifth-place team during the main league season is subtracted from the totals of each other club involved in the playoffs.
** The resulting number is then divided by 5 and rounded to the nearest whole number.
* At the end of the playoffs, the winner receives the country's second Champions League place. The next two teams enter the Europa League at different points depending on their playoff finishes; the last-placed team is entirely out of European competition. However, if the cup winner finished in a playoff spot (as happened in [[2010–11 Superleague Greece|2010–11]]), ''or'' the league champion also won the cup, and the losing cup finalist finished in a playoff spot (as happened in [[2012–13 Superleague Greece|2012–13]]), the bottom three teams in the playoff all receive Europa League berths.
