By the promotion-degradation-play-offs in the Dutch league
they play play-offs-best-off-3,but what's the exactly way to
manage that?!?!

1.Allways play 3 matches and the highest ended team plays 2 times
at home andt one time away, and making goals will be more important than to winn??!? By basketball and baseball they've the same system.
2.Two matches, one at home and one away,but by the same results(include away-goals) a 3rd match at the field off the highest ended team.
3.Equel like called by 2,but than a 3rd match at the same condition will be nessissary when both team each win one time ore by 2 draws.

And what to do when a eredivisieteam meets a team off the eerstedivisie??!

"Best of three" always means: The first team that wins two matches goes through.

But in the 1st round in the play-offs-best-off-3 in the
play-off between Zwolle and Haarlem, one time won Zwolle and one time
it was a draw and a 3rd match wasn't nessissary.
Why was that!?!? No-one has won 2 times!!!

The rules are not the best-of-3 you normally have, in which every match has to have a winner. The rules in the promotion/relegation play-offs are that the team that has the most points after 2 matches will go on, and when they are even there will be a 3rd match. The team that scored more goals in the first 2 matches plays the 3rd match at home (away goals and penalty's as deciders when number of goals is equal).

So in the first round this were the results:

Zwolle-Haarlem 1-1
Haarlem-Zwolle 1-3

Zwolle has 4 points and Haarlem 1 --> Zwolle to 2nd round

TOP-AGOVV 3-0
AGOVV-TOP 0-2

TOP has 6 points and AGOVV 0 --> TOP to 2nd round

By the promotion-relegation-play-offs in Holland in the 2nd round
in the play-off between TOP and NAC, TOP has the right to play
at home in the 3rd match becouse TOP has made more away-goals.
And TOP and NAC didn't play in the same division that's why they've
that ruwl.

But in an other promotion-play-off Helmondsport has the right to
play the 3rd match at home becouse they'd made more away-goals, but
in that play-off Helmonsport and Volendam has played
in the same division and in the normal original competition Volendam has
received more points than Helmondsport!!!

That's the way it's more logic Volendam must play the 3rd match at home!! In otter sports, basketball,baseball,volleyball,waterpolo,
rugby etc, they've in many countries play-offs-best-off-3 and by football in the United States too and than when in the 1st match both teams has won one time ore by 2 draws the highest ended team from the normal competition has the right to play the 3rd match at home!!

But why not between helmondsport andt volendam?!!??

I think the Dutch FA just wanted 1 clear rule for all matches and not different rules for inter- and intradivisional matches.
