Mode:
This season the Swiss Volleyball League (or NLA) consists of 9 teams. They will play each other (home and away) in the Qualification Round until the end of the year.

After that (January and February), the best 5 teams of the Qualification Round will play the Playoff Round. In the Playoff Round these 5 top teams will play again each other (home and away). The first ranked team of the Qualification Round will start in this Playoff Round with 3 points, the second ranked with 2 points, the third ranked with 1 point and the other 2 teams with zero points. The teams ranked 6th to 9th place after the Qualification Round will do exactly the same in a Playout Round to determine the places from 6 to 9 of the league.

After that (March), the two best ranked teams after this Playoff Round will compete in a best-of-five to become Swiss Champion. The 3rd and 4th ranked team after the Playoff Round will compete in a best-of-three for the bronze medal. For the 5th ranked team the season will be over after the Playoff Round.

Last season the 5 teams in the Playoff Round were: Volero, NUC, Köniz, VFM and Kanti. They seem also to be the favourites to reach the Playoff Round this season. But Sm'Aesch Pfeffingen and TSV Düdingen (Düdingen has had bad luck with injuries of several players) maybe still have the potential to surprise.

Yes, they did. Düdingen made some good transfers and also have a new young coach. They had a very good start in the season (they even won against Köniz). But since then, they have been very unlucky (many injured players). It's really a pity for them.

You can find the team rosters here on page 23. Their new coach is Nicki Neubauer, he was assistant coach of Kanti Schaffhausen before, maybe you remember him. Düdingen announced this week, that they have signed with an additional Swiss player (Joana Heidrich). She will play some matches for them until the end of the year. I don't know if they are looking for another player. I'm just a fan who attends some matches and posts here in the forum some infos about the league. I'm not an insider and also don't have any special relations to a club.

TSV Düdingen without: Vanis, Cipri and Heidrich. Sm'Aesch Pfeffingen without: Tschopp.

Best Player Awards: Nadine Alphonse (Sm'Aesch Pfeffingen) and Lina Sundström (TSV Düdingen).

My impressions (as a spectator of this match): It was a very important match for both teams. Both of them had to win this match to stay in touch with the fifth place (the Top 5 teams will play in the Playoff Round). Sm'Aesch Pfeffingen was clearly the team with the better serves, causing permanent problems in Düdingen's reception. Therefore Düdingen rarely could play fast balls with their MB's and their attacks were quite often blocked. On the other side, the reception of Sm'Aesch Pfeffingen was solid most of the time, so their young Swiss setter Jarotta had the opportunities to play fast balls with the two MB's (Becker, Alphonse), which she did very well.
