Chinese University Basketball Association

Chinese University Basketball Association (CUBA, Chinese: 中国大学生篮球联赛) is a college basketball competition in China. It was founded in 1996[1] and launched in 1998. This event is held annually and divided into the preliminary stage and the final stage, in which the national championship team is decided through a bracket style elimination event.[citation needed]
Between 2004 and 2015, there was a competing competition known as Chinese University Basketball Super League (CUBS).[1] CUBS allowed professional athletes to participate; restrictions were introduced in 2013.[1] The two competitions merged for the 2015–16 season.[2] As of 2015, CUBA was an amateur-based competition.[1] The competition strived to emulate the NCAA in the United States.[1]
Unlike other Chinese athletic organizations, CUBA is a privately funded organization with no affiliation with the Chinese government. However they do fall under standard FIBA regulations and rules.[citation needed]
Divisions[edit]
The league is divided into four divisions, mostly based on the geographical location of the teams. The top two teams in each division qualify for the CUBA Big Eight (quarter-finals).[citation needed]
As of 2015, CUBA's four divisions had a total of 64 men's teams and 46 women's teams.[1]
