Any given second squad of a team is only allowed to reach the 2nd divisions. If they finish on a promotion spot, they will not be promoted, and the next non-second squad will recieve the promotion instead. Therefore, a 2nd division can (unlike any other non-top level) be won by the same team two times in a row.

Lower divisions' format

The lower divisions are controlled by the regional associations.

The format is generally two (regional name)'s series (example: Funen's series (Fynsserien)), followed by Serie 1, Serie 2 and so forth. The number of lower series vary from 3 in LFBU to 6 in JBU.
