Английская Википедия:1999–2000 DEL season
The 1999–2000 Deutsche Eishockey Liga season was the 6th season of the Шаблон:Lang (German Ice Hockey League). An agreement was reached between DEL and the 1. Liga. With DEL being the top-level league, it would be known as the DEL - Die 1. Bundesliga, and the 1. Liga as the 2. Bundesliga. A new logo displaying the full name was introduced at the same time.
The regular season was played from September 10, 1999, until March 12, 2000; the playoffs started soon thereafter on March 17. The Munich Barons, who bought their license from the EV Landshut, became DEL champions.
A number of major changes were introduced this season. One change was the reintroduction of relegation. However, while the Essen Mosquitoes were to be relegated, they were granted a stay as the Starbulls Rosenheim had to retread due to finance issues.
The second change was that there would be no overtime played; in case a game ends in a tie after the regular periods, shootouts commenced.
Regular season
All teams played each other 4 times, for a total of 56 rounds. The first 8 placed teams qualified for the playoffs.

The Essen Mosquitoes should have been relegated. However, the Starbulls Rosenheim transferred their DEL license to the Iserlohner EC and pulled themselves voluntarily out of the league due to financial trouble. The matter went to court and the Moskitos won an order to stay in the league.[1]
