Overview

  • The DHB Bundesgericht overturned a prior ruling and ordered the April 27 TuSEM Essen vs. Dessau-Roßlauer HV match to be replayed by June 30 after Dessau finished with an extra player on the court.
  • TuSEM Essen has already begun preparations for the replay while Dessau-Roßlauer HV must contend with coach Uwe Jungandreas’s departure, end-of-season vacations, and a key player’s call-up to the U21 World Championship.
  • A win for Essen would lift it from 16th to 10th place and secure a DHB-Pokal spot, while Dessau would drop to 17th on goal difference and face relegation.
  • ASV Hamm-Westfalen could remain in the 2. Bundesliga if Dessau falls below it in the final standings once the replay result is applied.
  • ASV Hamm-Westfalen has proposed expanding the 2. Bundesliga to 19 teams next season to shield relegation outcomes from late-season legal challenges.
