At the bottom end of the table, nominally the last two teams are relegated while the 2nd Rugby-Bundesliga champions are promoted, however, this is subject to the 2nd Bundesliga champions accepting promotion and a decision on the league strength for 2011-12. In February 2011, the DRV decided that the league would continue to play with ten teams in the future.Es bleibt bei 10 Vereinen in der Bundesliga de totalrugby.de, published: 9 February 2011, accessed: 5 March 2011 As a sign of the gap between the Bundesliga and the 2nd Bundesliga, TSV Victoria Linden, who only won the 2009-10 North/East division in the last round of the championship, declined promotion, citing the additional cost of travelling and the limited player pool as their reason. The South/West champion, Stuttgarter RC, also declined promotion because of the loss of eight first-team players at the end of the season, originally leaving the Bundesliga with only eight clubs for the next season.Victoria Linden verzichtet auf den Bundesligaaufstieg de, totalrugby.de, published: 27 May 2010, accessed: 29 May 2010RC gewinnt Zweitligameisterschaft - verzichtet aber dennoch auf den AufstiegMarch 2021 InternetArchiveBot yes de, totalrugby.de, published: 31 May 2010, accessed: 1 June 2010 DSV 78 protested the decision to reduce the league to eight teams again and thereby relegating the club,Abstieg von Hannover 78 besiegelt - Bundesligasaison 2010/2011 mit nur 8 Mannschaften de totalrugby.de, published: 8 June 2010. accessed: 14 June 2010 and was ultimately permitted to stay in the league.

Frankfurt lead the game from early on until almost the end of regular time. A late try by New Zealander Jesse Westerlund however equalised Frankfurt's lead, followed by a conversion by South African Pieter Jordaan. A desperate attack by Frankfurt in injury time was not rewarded and Heidelberg was able to defend its narrow lead and thereby its German title.Bericht vom Final-WE de DRV website, published: 28 May 2011, accessed: 21 August 20111.
