clubs in Super League now enter a single round-robin mini-league known as the Super 8s, with the top four teams after that stage entering a knockout play-off to determine the champion. The four bottom teams in Super League at the end of the home-and-away season are joined by the top four from the Championship after its home-and-away season. These eight teams play their own single-round-robin mini-league known as The Qualifiers; at its end, the top three teams are assured of places in the next season's Super League, with the fourth- and fifth-place teams playing a single match billed as the "Million Pound Game", with the winner also playing in Super League in the following season. Other leagues The two tiers directly below Super League, the Championship and League 1 (the latter of which was known as Championship 1 from 2009 to 2014)—formerly the National Leagues until the 2009 addition of a French club to the previously all-British competition—used the old top six system to determine which teams were promoted between its levels through the 2014 season. After that season, both leagues abandoned the top six system. Before the 2008 season, when Super League established a franchising system and ended automatic promotion and relegation in Super League, the National Leagues also used this system to determine the team that earned promotion to Super League. The top six system involved the following: Week One Elimination Semi-final A: 3rd vs 6th (4th vs 7th in Championship 1) Elimination Semi-final B: 4th vs 5th (5th vs 6th in Championship 1) Week Two Elimination Final: Winners of Elimination Semi-final A vs Winners of Elimination Semi-final B Qualification Match: 1st vs 2nd (2nd vs 3rd in Championship 1) Week Three Final Qualifier: Winners of Elimination Final vs Losers of Qualification Match Week Four Grand Final: Winners of Qualification Match vs Winners of Final Qualifier (in Super League, at Old Trafford) Since 2015, all clubs in Super League and the Championship play a 22-match home-and-away season. Upon the end of the home-and-away season, the clubs will split into three leagues, with two of them including Championship clubs. The Super 8s will feature the top eight Super League sides. The second league, The Qualifiers, will include the bottom four clubs from Super League and the top four from the Championship, whilst the third will feature the remaining eight Championship sides. The bottom two leagues will begin as single
