History

The Elitserien for women was founded in 1997 and replaced the Division 1 leagues as the high level floorball league of Sweden. Between the seasons 1997-98 and 2005-06 the league was divided into a northern and a southern group. Since the 2006-2007 season, it is a national league.

Season structure

The season starts with a regular season with 26 games per team, one home and one away against all teams. In the spring a play-off starts with the eight best teams from the regular season. The quarter finals as well as the semi finals is played in best of five matches, the final is settled in just one. The final is played in Stockholm Globe Arena together with the men's Swedish Super League final. The two last teams play in a relegation league to avoid relegation.

gollark: Some offense, but it's not like it takes much knowledge and thought about AI to go "hmm, what if hyperadvanced self-learning AI thing". If it was that easy, people would already have done it and probably taken over the world.
gollark: Basically, your simple English description of what you want implicitly assumes a bunch of human knowledge - *specialized expert* human knowledge, even - which would require vast amounts of difficult development to get in an AI.
gollark: Oh, and if it's a paper it might not even come with code or it might be really awful code, yes.
gollark: The code/paper you find isn't going to be conveniently usable by just downloading it and copypasting it into your AI's code or something. You'll probably have to actually understand how it works, yet another unfathomable general intelligence task, figure out how it interfaces with the rest of the code or if it can even be used together at all, and possibly rewrite it entirely to fit with what you need.
gollark: "Pluck it out" is also easy to say, but it's actually even harder.
