Hey everyone! I’ve watched a few videos to try to figure out how this thing is working but all the videos are shilling for the NBA and talking about viewership during the Football season and how "players dont care about the regular season enough. I understand the winners get money, but what about the losers? The Grizzlies just got eliminated, do they now play less games this season? Will the winner of this thing have to play more games this season? Do those wins end up on the regular season standing table? Is it just me or does no one care about this thing except the marketing people?
All 30 teams play in a 5-team group stage. 1 team plays 4 games in a group stage. 3 group winners plus 1 wild card advance to the knockout round. Quarterfinals, semifinals and championship are single-elimination games. Winner of the tournament wins $500,000 and the NBA Cup.
