The 2013 German Football League season was the thirty fifth edition of the top-level American football competition in Germany and fourteenth since the renaming of the ''American football Bundesliga'' to German Football league. The regular season started on 5 May and finished on 15 September 2013, followed by the play-offs. The season culminated in the German Bowl XXXV, staged on 12 October 2013 in Berlin, as in 2012, and the fourth time for the championship decider to be held in the German capital.〔(List of German Bowls ) GFL website, accessed: 23 September 2015〕 The German Bowl was won by the New Yorker Lions, a club from the city of Braunschweig, who defeated the Dresden Monarchs by a score of 35–34. It was the club's eight title overall and the first since 2008 while Dresden made their first-ever German Bowl appearance.〔 ==Modus== }} During the regular season each club played all other clubs in its division twice, home and away, resulting in each team playing 14 regular season games. There was no games between clubs from opposite divisions, inter conference games having been abolished after the 2011 season when the GFL was expanded from 14 to 16 teams.〔(GFL 2013 ) football-aktuell.de, accessed: 23 September 2015〕〔(Historic American football tables & results from Germany ) football-history.de, accessed: 15 September 2015〕 The four best teams in each division qualified for the play-offs where, in the quarter finals, teams from opposite divisions played each other, whereby the better placed teams had home advantage. The first placed team played the fourth placed from the other division and the second placed the third placed team. From the semi-finals onwards teams from the same division could meet again.〔 The eighth placed team in each division entered a two-leg play-off with the winners of the respective division of the German Football League 2, the second tier of the league system in Germany. The winners of this contest qualified for the GFL for the following season.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2013 German Football League」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
