Чемпионат России по хоккею с мячом
The federation is governing the national leagues in Russia, which is set up in a top-tier Russian Bandy Super League and second tier leagues, as well as the Russian Cup. The Russian Bandy Super League is fully professional and the winning team each year is crowned Russian champions. There are also a lot of regional and city leagues for minor and junior teams, which are not directly connected to the national leagues (teams can not be promoted to a national league) but this is where new bandy talents are discovered. These are directed through regional federations which are part of the Russian Bandy Federation.
