On September 26, the new season press conference of the CBA League was held today.
Among the events was the draw ceremony for the first CBA Club Cup. A total of 20 teams were divided into four groups, with five teams in each group. The CBA Club Cup consists of 48 matches, with a total prize pool of nearly one million yuan, and a game format of 4 quarters of 10 minutes each, with foreign players allowed to play for a total of 8 quarters.
The specific groupings are as follows:
A: Guangzhou, Tianjin, Guangdong, Beikong, Jiangsu
B: Zhejiang, Jilin, Guangxia, Sichuan, Shandong
C: Shenzhen, Shanghai, Ningbo, Shanxi, Fujian
D: Qingdao, Liaoning, Nanjing, Beijing, Xinjiang
Group D can be considered the group of death, with Liaoning, Beijing, and Xinjiang set to engage in fierce competition. It’s worth noting that national team players will not participate in the Club Cup.
According to previous reports: The CBA Club Cup is a tournament-style event, divided into two stages. The first stage takes place during the first league window period (November this year), with single-round robin matches in four different zones, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the final stage; the second stage occurs during the second league window period (February next year), using a single-elimination format to determine the ultimate champion within the zones.
