Starting 2021, at the end of each season, teams receive Year Points. Every two seasons (once every year), two teams with the fewest points are playing in Ultraliga promotion/relegation Tournament to defend their spot in the Ultraliga. If they lose, they are relegated to Ultraliga 2nd Division. Starting 2024, only one team will play in promotion/relegation Tournament.
Ultraliga is a part of ERLs- EMEA Regional Leagues. Therefore, the best teams in the league compete in the EMEA Masters.[3]
