About volleyball league in non volleyball country Switzerland is writting opposite J. Svoboda which played several good season over there.

Competition

How many teams play in the competition? How many go lower, how many come up?
8 teams, 2 go lower, 2 come up
Which system do you play? ( basic part, play-off, play down )
2 times at home everybody with each other, the same abroad, play-off 1-8, 2-7, 3-6 and so on...
When does the competition start, when does it finish? How many matches a week?
We start in the end of September and the end is roughly at half of April, we play once a week mostly.
Matches on TV? What time do the matches start?
There are not any matches on TV fortunately ( and nobody in Switzerland would watch it ), mostly we play at 6 pm. on Sunday.
Visit rate of matches?
As the case may be but average is 200 people, I think that it´s a lot when I see the quality..
Level, quality of league, legionaries are? ( maximum number )
First 3 teams have got enough money to have foreigners so the matches arfirst-rate at all and I think that they would be also good for Czech league and the other teams are amateur at all because they are Swisses and they aren´t good at the volleyball so it´s very easy to play with them.
Which balls do you play with?
Mikasa

I think that 1 team plays the Top team cup and 2 teams play the CEV cup
