The battle for the lower places in Polish women's national basketball entered its decisive phase, played in a modified play-out format. The entire competition was wrapped up in just two days, representing a significant organizational adjustment compared to previous years. Teams did not stretch the fight over a longer cycle but quickly settled the standings outside the league's top tier. 2 — days the play-out phase lasted This system change allowed for efficient ordering of the table and closing the season without the need for multi-week series of matches. Play-out in this edition was not about fighting for medals but precisely establishing the hierarchy of teams occupying positions from ninth downwards.
The team with the most reasons for satisfaction is Contimax MOSiR Bochnia, which officially finished the competition as the ninth team in the country. 9 — place Bochnia took in Poland This is the most important ranking point confirmed after the conclusion of the battles in this group. Simultaneously, Artego Bydgoszcz ended its participation in the campaign. Although the entire season is assessed as unsuccessful, the team managed to bid farewell to the court in good style. The Bydgoszcz team secured a victory in their final match and, in the process, set their own scoring record in the current competition. Scoring record Artego shows that despite difficulties throughout the year, the team was able to mobilize for the final clash and improve its offensive image.
Completely different moods prevail in the camp of Isands Wichoś Jelenia Góra. This team ended the season without a single victory, which constitutes the most unambiguous and harsh summary of its sporting disposition in recent months. Such a finish starkly contrasts with Bochnia's result and Bydgoszcz's winning accent. Final situation of three clubs: Contimax MOSiR Bochnia: fight for survival → 9th place in the country; Artego Bydgoszcz: series of defeats → victory and scoring record; Isands Wichoś Jelenia Góra: difficult season → no wins in the competition Final classification in this group is therefore very diverse, even though all the mentioned squads operated within the same condensed time structure.
In Polish league competitions, play-out systems are regularly modified by federations to optimize costs and adapt the calendar to the needs of national teams or other sporting events. Shortening the competition to two days is a move aimed at quickly determining relegated teams and establishing the order without generating additional burdens for clubs that are no longer fighting for the highest goals. The picture of the competition's finish is thus clear: Bochnia maintained a solid ninth position, Bydgoszcz regained effectiveness at the last moment, and Jelenia Góra must face a zero balance on the wins side. System change remains the key organizational fact here, which dominated the discussion about the end of the season in the lower part of the table.
