Therefore, ARC and Volendam were considered to have ended equal and had to play an additional match against each other on neutral ground to decide which team was allowed to enter the playoffs.
The 6 winners of the second round matches will play next season in the 2013–14 Hoofdklasse and the remaining teams in the 2013–14 Eerste klasse.
Therefore, the teams who lost in the second/final round of the regular promotion/relegation play-off Hoofdklasse – Eerste Klasse Sunday were allowed to compete for this extra spot in a 2-round system.
A second spot became available when Achilles '29, as champion of the 2012–13 Topklasse Sunday league, decided to promote to the 2013–14 Eerste Divisie.
Right after the Topklasse / Hoofdklasse playoff semifinals match between Alphense Boys and Haaglandia, a big fight took place.
Additionally Alphense Boys, as a disciplinary measure, was relegated to the Eerste Klasse, because the club was held accountable for the behavior of their supporters who were designated as the cause for the fight.
With eventually 3 open spots available, all 3 teams were allowed to play in the 2013–14 Hoofdklasse Sunday leagues.
