Correct. Since none of the danish teams are in the champions league, the
four best teams get good matchpractise. I guess there will be a Royal
League next year, but I doubt there will be any more after that. They
lose money with few viewers, not much people coming to the games and
players NOT happy in being in the RL. Not exactly a success.
