More about "A league of its own - Buschi's chain of six":
In each weekly edition, host Frank Buschmann has two teams, each consisting of three celebrities, compete against each other.
In various rounds of games, guests must not only demonstrate their sporting knowledge, but also their skills in physical challenges. Points are awarded for each round won.
In the show's grand finale, one team member at a time must complete a grueling task while the other two team members answer questions. In the end, the team with the most points wins.
The 50-minute show combines sports, comedy and entertainment like no other format on German television - and not just for viewers interested in sports.
The British original "A League of Their Own" with host James Corden, known from the "Late Late Show" and "Carpool Karaoke," has also been running extremely successfully on Sky 1 in the UK since 2010.
And that happens next Monday: In three rounds, the celebrity teams answer crazy questions about the most coveted autograph cards of athletes, the longest goal celebration, as well as four-legged friends and tattoos of famous soccer players. There will be a lot of discussion, a lot of handing out, and a lot of heated debate.
In the grand finale, the team captains "Effe" and "Kretzsche" have to go mano a mano in the surf battle, while their fellow competitors have to prove their brains once again.
