The B. League will play its 2020-21 season with teams split into two conferences — the East and West — instead of three, which has been the format since its inception in 2016, the league announced following a meeting of its governors on Tuesday.
The number of teams competing in the top division will also change next season, increasing to 20, two more than in the previous three campaigns.
The league gave up on completing a full 2019-20 season amid the COVID-19 outbreak, canceling the remaining one-third of the schedule late last month. As a result, the B. League decided against staging promotion-relegation playoffs and will instead promote the top two teams from the second division (B2) for the upcoming season.
