The "relegation zone" is a term commonly used in sports to describe the bottom few places of a league table, where teams are at risk of being demoted to a lower league. However, there are multiple synonyms for this term that can be used interchangeably depending on the sport and region. In soccer, it is also referred to as the "drop zone," "danger zone," or "bottom three." In cricket and rugby, it is commonly known as the "drop division" or "relegation trap." In American sports such as basketball and baseball, it is referred to as the "bottom tier" or "demotion zone." Regardless of the synonym used, being in the relegation zone is always a precarious position for any team.
