Saltsteadish football league system

The Saltsteadish football league system, or league pyramid, is a series of generally unconnected leagues in Saltstead.

Saltsteadish leagues are not usually linked by, making it near-impossible for amateur clubs to progress to upwards or for weak senior clubs to lose their status. Progress toward a league pyramid was made with the founding of the Saltsteadish Football League, which employed two twelve-team divisions that exchange a single club each season, with a third division added three years later. However, the SFL itself was unconnected to leagues below it until a large-scale restructuring that reduced it to two eighteen-team division, introducing relegation out its bottom division for the first time in its history.

Senior league system
The Royal Saltsteadish Football Association sanctions three bodies to organise senior league competitions. The Saltsteadish Football League organises the top two levels of the Saltsteadish league system, which are hierarchically bound through promotion and relegation to each other and to the two parallel leagues underneath it, one for clubs in the former state of Saxland and one for clubs from the other Saltsteadish states.
