An extra foreigner means less change during the season

The Basketball League Now one step closer to The final presence of 6 + 1 foreigners in the leagueafter the relevant affirmative vote taken at its general assembly I wasMonday, October 3rd. Union groups have been in favor of this specific amendment, and are now awaiting a “green light” from both the EEC and the Undersecretary for Sports (regulations are submitted for opinion to both bodies), for a regulation change to form.

But what does this (imminent) change mean?

First of all, we have to repeat that the number of aliens that each team can declare in twelve matches has not been adjusted at least. Simply put, it is given the possibility to choose the six most suitable players for each match day, from a pool of seven players.

In order to obtain relative equality, the groups voted – in addition – on another amendment to the regulation relating to aliens. According to this, any teams that choose to go with 6+1 foreigners, will have one less change in the first round of the tournament (two instead of three).

At the same time, despite 6 + 1, the maximum number of aliens that each team can declare during the season does not increase because “12” remains the magic number.

As far as the starting lineup for each match is concerned, this must be announced to ESAKE by 12:00 PM, on match day. Of course, it is worth noting that 6 + 1 does not apply to the playoffs, because in this case the teams will have to announce, as they have done so far, the last six to foreigners for another season before its start. .
