Previous Formats
Ever since 1982, the first season of the 3. deild (then named 4. deild), and throughout the 2012 season, the 3. deild had been the lowest division in the league system and as a consequence didn't have a fixed amount of teams. All who wished to enter and could fill certain requirements were allowed to compete, and between each season some teams quit and some new teams came in, sometimes after having previously quit. There were various formats used in the 31 seasons the 3. deild was the lowest league, the latest version using group stages and then eight-team playoffs to decide two promoted teams.

Famous quotes containing the word previous:
“There was a deserted log camp here, apparently used the previous winter, with its “hovel” or barn for cattle.... It was a simple and strong fort erected against the cold, and suggested what valiant trencher work had been done there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
