Regular season typically starts in August. After the regular season, the league proceeds to the playoffs round, where the top 4 teams of the regular season match up for two games. The winners play in the final to determine the league champion.
Every team is required to send 1 player to the All-Star Team for the All-Star Game held in the middle of the season.
The league uses FIBA rules. Teams can have up to 2 foreign players in the roster, but teams can only use one foreign player on the court. Teams can also have as many as five players from the national team but can only use three players on the court.
