According to sources, next season's CBA League will have important reforms, that is, the system of promotion and relegation will be implemented. CBA will be expanded to 24 teams, of which 20 teams are super teams and four teams are Class A teams. What's different from football is that the Football Super League also implements a system of promotion and relegation, but after relegation, they will withdraw from the Super League company, and the Basketball CBA League is different. Whether it is Super or Class A, they are all in the framework of the CBA League, but there are differences in the control of the signing and salary cap .
First of all, in the regular season game, the top 12 still enter the playoffs, the top four directly enter the main game, 5 to 12 compete for the playoff playoffs, while 13 to 18 retain the qualification of the super team, while 19 and 20 compete for the qualification of the super team, and 21 to 24 conduct cross-elimination matches, and the two alternate super teams will be determined, and then cross-elimination matches with 19 and 20 teams will be decided, and the team that retains the super team's name will be finally decided. The cross-robin match will be held according to the big ranking.
There are roughly two specific differences between the Super Team and the First-class team. One is that the First-class team that has not entered the Super Team has an advantageous policy in choosing foreign players and foreign players to play in the quarters, such as having more than four quarters and an increase in the number of foreign players. The second point is that there will be restrictions and disadvantages in the profit distribution and publicity of the CBA League, especially CCTV's live TV broadcast, which basically does not broadcast the A-level team games, so that the exposure rate of the A-level team will be much lower than that of the Super Team.
and the 24 teams after the final expansion, the outside world now speculates that besides the 20 teams already exist, the most likely four teams in Yunnan Honghe, Kweichow Moutai , Hubei Huangshi, and Jiangxi Jingdezhen will join the CBA league. There are also saying that Hong Kong Yuyuan, Taiwan Beer, and Macau Benfica will join the CBA league. However, I personally think that these news is not reliable, and only the official announcement of the CBA league is the final result. Everything now is speculation from the media.
