Chilean Professional Basketball Report: Update for Aug 24

By Rod “Alley’Gator” Hunrichse, 20120824

Professional basketball pre-season is underway, uncertainty is getting clearer. DIMAYOR and Liga Nacional are being formed, yes, two parallel leagues. Live televised games help to improve the exposure and funding.

DIMAYOR 2011-2012 season, the mature but returning Professional League, finished in April 2012, in the midst of a restructuration. The parallel Liga Nacional tournament also finished a long 5 months season. Most players competed on different leagues.

Español Talca recently decided to move from DIMAYOR to Liga Nacional. Español was dissolved after the DIMAYOR postseason, most players reinforced nearby Maxibásquetbol Chillán.

But the regular person is interested in the REAL Professional leagues, the one on for their city, with spectacular foreign players, and classic rivalries.

Chilean Basketball Report: Update for Aug 23

I got the news and buzz of Chilean Basketball for you in english. A lot is happening and uncertainty is getting clearer. Dimayor and Liga Nacional are being formed, women have a fairly competitive league as well, but not surprisingly, have two leagues. Live televised games helped to improve the coverage and exposure. Minors have competitive tournaments too. The National teams lowered the age limit for a projection to the future, but collected lots of baskets and losses.

DIMAYOR season, the mature Professional League, finished in April 2012, in the midst of a transitional 2011-2012 season. The Liga Nacional tournament also finished a long 5 months season. Currently, semi professional leagues are underway, only allowing nationals, and divided in regions.

But the regular person is interested in the REAL Professional leagues, the one on for their city, with spectacular foreign players, and classic rivalries.

Here are the current Leagues situation, later the Second Semester Leagues definitions.
