Competition format

[edit]

The Romanian Basketball Federation agreed a change in the competition format for the 2018–19 season:[1][2]

  • 13 teams (divided into 2 value groups: A and B) played the regular season, consisting in a double-legged round robin format.
  • At the end of the regular season, teams are split into four groups (Red, Yellow, Blue and Green).
    • Red Group consist of the Group A teams and the winner of the Group B.
    • Yellow Group consist of the other teams from Group B, ranked 2–7.
  • All teams from the Red Group (from 1st to 7th place) and the winner of the Yellow Group will join the play-offs. In this knockout stage, quarterfinals and semifinals will be played with a best-of-five-games format.
    • To decide the teams ranked between 5th and 8th place will be used the best-of-three-games format.
    • The rest of the teams from the Yellow, Blue and Green Groups (16 teams) will form 2 groups of 8 teams and will play to decide the final rankings.
  • Liga I was dissolved, so no team will relegate.
