The BBL Cup: An annual highlight

The BBL Cup, which has been held by the German Basketball Federation since 1966, is one of the most important national basketball competitions in Germany. Well-known teams from the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) compete in the knockout format, and since 1993 the winner has been determined in the Final Four mode. The host of the Final Four is automatically there, while the other three participants are determined through exciting quarterfinal games. In recent years the format has been expanded to 16 participating teams to make the competition even more exciting. For many teams, including Baskets Oldenburg, the cup not only means the chance for glory, but also the opportunity to immortalize themselves in basketball history.
