“When the Sporting B team is at the second level, the first team is outside the one-point drop zone at the highest level. What happens if something incomprehensible happens? ” wondered Daniel Storey on Twitter in January 2013.

We referred to Article 5 of the Annex, seven, subsections 1, 4 and 5 Portuguese competition rules, which state (roughly):

i) Team B can never compete at the same level of competition as the club’s main team.
iv) Despite the classification they receive from Team B, they can never advance to the I League. However, they may fall if their league position so dictates.
v) If the first team of the club relegates to League II, Team B will automatically descend immediately to the lower division, regardless of the points earned during that season.
