The two Czechoslovak republic decided to amicably split and so two independent nations, Czech Republic and Slovakia were created effective January 1, 1993. The last all-country league finished in early 1992 with participation of 10 Czech and 4 Slovak teams. There were three second-level leagues, two from the Czech Republic, namely česká liga (the Czech league) and moravskoslezká liga (Moravia-Silesia league) and one all-Slovak. There was kind of a voting conducted among Czech and Slovak teams whether they would like to stay in the united Czecho-Slovak league (celostatná liga). Despite massive support from Slovakia on keeping one league, a mere vote decided about the velvet divorce. So the Czech league had to be created. Two winners of the second-level Czechoslovak leagues joined top 8 from all-Czechoslovak top level 1991/92 to form a 10 team Czech extraliga. The eight board round robin format was preserved, with 5 weekends per season, each one with two rounds. |
