Semi-closed league
In sport a semi-closed league (also referred to as a semi-open league) is a sports league where a group of teams are guaranteed entry for the League every year, while a group of teams have to qualify or at risk of relegation each season. It is considered a hybrid of closed leagues and leagues with promotion and relegation. Semi-closed leagues can lead to a league where its parament members are richer compared to the rest of the clubs teams competing in the semi-closed leagues and teams in domestic completion that the permeant members also compete in.[1]
