Elitserien, meaning "the Elite League", is the top-tier professional baseball league in Sweden. Established in 1963, it is organized by the Swedish Baseball, Softball, and Lacrosse Association.[1][2]
During the regular season, teams compete for playoff berths and the chance to win the Elitserien Cup Championship. At the season’s conclusion, the team finishing last must contest a relegation playoff against the top team from the Regional Series.[citation needed]
