The 2. Amateurliga Bayern was a set of eleven regional leagues in Bavaria existing from 1951 to 1963 as the fourth tier of football in the state.〔''Die Bayernliga 1945-1997'' Introduction, publisher: DSFS, published: 1998, page: 3, accessed: 15 June 2009〕 The leagues were disbanded in 1963, when the German football league system was reorganised with the introduction of the ''Fußball-Bundesliga'' and replaced by the ''Landesligas''.〔''Die Bayernliga 1945-1997'' publisher: DSFS, published: 1998, page: 56, accessed: 15 June 2009〕 ==Overview== The ''2. Amateurligas'' were introduced in Bavaria in 1951 to replace the previously existing Kreisligas at this level.〔 This step was taken after the introduction of the ''2nd Oberliga Süd'' as the new second division in Southern Germany in 1950 and the renaming of the ''Landesliga Bayern'' to ''Amateurliga Bayern'' in 1951. The ''Landesliga'' had, until 1950, been functioning as one of the regional second divisions below the ''Oberliga Süd'', alongside the ''Landesliga Nordbaden'', the ''Landesliga Hessen'' and the ''Landesliga Württemberg''.〔 The ''2. Amateurliga'', as the fourth tier of the German league system, below the ''Amateurliga Bayern'' as the third, was sub-divided into seven regions, along the boundaries of the seven ''Regierungsbezirke'', those regions being: * Upper Bavaria - ''Oberbayern'' * Lower Bavaria - ''Niederbayern'' * Swabia - ''Schwaben'' * Upper Palatinate - ''Oberpfalz'' * Middle Franconia - ''Mittelfranken'' * Lower Franconia - ''Unterfranken'' * Upper Franconia - ''Oberfranken'' Some of the seven regions of the ''2. Amateurliga'' were in turn sub-divided into regional leagues, resulting in the existence of eleven leagues at this level:〔''Die Bayernliga 1945-1997'' publisher: DSFS, published: 1998, page: 24, accessed: 15 June 2009〕 * ''2. Amateurliga Oberbayern A'' * ''2. Amateurliga Oberbayern B'' * ''2. Amateurliga Niederbayern'' * ''2. Amateurliga Schwaben'' * ''2. Amateurliga Oberpfalz'' * ''2. Amateurliga Mittelfranken Nord'' * ''2. Amateurliga Mittelfranken Süd'' * ''2. Amateurliga Unterfranken West'' * ''2. Amateurliga Unterfranken Ost'' * ''2. Amateurliga Oberfranken West'' * ''2. Amateurliga Oberfranken Ost'' Within the four ''Regierungsbezirke'' who had two leagues, a championship was played to determine the local champions, but no overall ''2. Amateurliga'' championship was held. Instead, the regional champions would play promotion rounds to determine the teams that would move up to the ''Amateurliga''. The promotion rounds where sub-divided into northern and southern Bavaria. The champions of the three Franconian ''Regierungsbezirke'' would play in the northern group while the other four ''Regierungsbezirke'' would play in the southern one. Swabia had a special status within this system, being allowed to send both champions and runners-up to the promotion round. Originally, until 1957, the promotion rounds were held in two groups of six teams, playing a home-and-away round, with the top-two teams from each being promoted.〔''Die Bayernliga 1945-1997'' publisher: DSFS, published: 1998, page: 24-38, accessed: 15 June 2009〕 In 1953, the ''Amateurliga Bayern'' was split in itself in two regional divisions, north and south, resulting in two new leagues:〔''Die Bayernliga 1945-1997'' publisher: DSFS, published: 1998, page: 26, accessed: 15 June 2009〕 * ''Amateurliga Nordbayern'' - Northern Bavaria * ''Amateurliga Südbayern'' - Southern Bavaria This decision was made rather late, on 7 July 1953, after the promotion rounds had already been played, resulting in all twelve teams that had taken part being promoted.〔 The promotion system remained unchanged after this, two groups of six with the first two in each group still promoted. In 1955, three teams were promoted from the north because VfB Helmbrechts had been promoted to the ''2nd Oberliga Süd'', thereby providing an additional spot in the ''Amateurliga Nordbayern''.〔''Die Bayernliga 1945-1997'' publisher: DSFS, published: 1998, page: 32, accessed: 15 June 2009〕 An expansion of the ''Amateurliga Südbayern'' from 14 to 16 clubs in 1957 allowed four teams to be promoted from the south.〔''Die Bayernliga 1945-1997'' publisher: DSFS, published: 1998, page: 38, accessed: 15 June 2009〕 From 1957-58 onwards, the promotion system was changed. In the north, the three ''Regierungsbezirk'' champions were now directly promoted. In the south, the ''Oberbayern'' and ''Schwaben'' champions were directly promoted while the champions of ''Niederbayern'' and ''Oberpfalz'' played a decider for one more promotion spot.〔''Die Bayernliga 1945-1997'' publisher: DSFS, published: 1998, page: 41-53, accessed: 15 June 2009〕 In 1958, an additional spot was available because the 1. FC Bamberg had been promoted to the second division, this was played out between the three runners-up.〔''Die Bayernliga 1945-1997'' publisher: DSFS, published: 1998, page: 41, accessed: 15 June 2009〕 The same happened in 1959, when SpVgg Bayreuth moved up to the second division.〔''Die Bayernliga 1945-1997'' publisher: DSFS, published: 1998, page: 44, accessed: 15 June 2009〕 In 1960, when Schwaben Augsburg was promoted to the ''2nd Oberliga'', the losing team of the ''Niederbayern'' versus ''Oberpfalz'' encounter was also promoted.〔''Die Bayernliga 1945-1997'' publisher: DSFS, published: 1998, page: 47, accessed: 15 June 2009〕 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「2.
