If you can't tell by now, Euroleague and NBA are two separate beasts, and it's time we point out and talk about one of the main differences. Euroleague hosts a collection of teams from different domestic leagues (from many of the European countries), and is very similar in concept to Champions League. That means there are different teams each year who compete and that there are entries to compete; a MUCH different structure than the NBA. We learned on our field study to the headquarters about qualifications and scheduling logistics... but here's a brief reminder.
Qualifications are given on a basis of:
- Performance in the previous season's domestic league
- Performance over the previous two or three domestic seasons
- Contracts with ULEB
- The winner of the previous season's Eurocup receives a place
They can be given Class A, B, or C licenses. These are granted in accordance with financial performance, TV deals, and league performance.
