acb Official Statement

20/04/2020

The acb clubs, meeting this Monday in the Assembly in a telematic way, have unanimously agreed on the route to follow for the resumption of the competition, always conditioned to the evolution of the measures decreed by the health authorities and to the maximum guarantees of preserving the health for all players, coaches, referees and other participants.

 

In this way, the clubs have unanimously agreed on the following points:

 

• Establish with the competent authorities a health protocol for the resumption of training and competition that guarantees the health of all participants in the competition.

 

• To end the Regular League due to force majeure. With one third of the competition pending, there will be no relegation to the LEB Gold.

 

• Decide the 2019-20 Endesa League title through a final phase that will be played by the top 12 in the Regular League, and which will be held in a single venue.

 

• The venue where this final phase will be held will be designated in the near future. The guarantee of compliance with the guidelines set by the health authorities will be the first criterion to define the venue.

 

• For this purpose, a minimum of three weeks of preparation is set before the resumption of the competition.

 

• May 31 is established as the maximum date for, depending on the measures taken by the authorities, to decide the final phase dispute or to end the Endesa 19-20 League.

 

• July 10 has been set as the cap for the completion of the Endesa 19-20 League.

 

• In the event of having to definitively end the competition on May 31, the Endesa League title would be void.
