Interview with the SEB BBL Head of the Board
The SEB BBL is about to start its third season. Does it feel any different now that the organization has passed its creation stage and is in the third year of existence?

Yes, each year was different in own way. First year our season lasted only half of regular basketball season. Last year we had a full season, but the number of the participating teams was decreased. This year is different yet again. We have less teams and different competition format.

Mr. Kehris noted that competition format might look confusing at a first glance. But it allows the league to establish a base for more competitive games. Each team has an equal opportunity to make it to Top-6. And since the first part of the regular season is only two-month long, teams must start collecting their wins right from the beginning. Meaning we could expect few surprises and teams that first get into a good playing shape might come out as the biggest winners. Nonetheless, the second part of the regular season promises to be equally interesting. Top division will include highlight battles of six league's best teams. Second division teams will also have a great goal to compete for ?€“ the SEB BBL Playoffs. Two best teams will make into the postseason. And, most importantly, all teams will start division plays with zero wins and zero losses. This is particularly intriguing for the second division teams. Eight teams of equal strength will battle for the last two SEB BBL Playoffs spots.

Also, the Head of the Board noted that this year's changes involved league staff. Due to an increased workload and league's ambition to produce better product, the number of staff members was increased.
