Circuito de Basquetbol del Noreste


The Circuito de Basquetbol del Noreste, "CIBANE" was a professional basketball league in Northeastern Mexico. CIBANE was founded in 2010 with 6 teams. The main purpose of this league is to give Mexican players the opportunity to showcase their talents, while maintaining a high level of basketball. After low funds forced league officials to cancel the 2014 season, the league was indefinitely suspended in December of that year.

Rules

There are some specific rules to ensure that Mexican players have the opportunity to play, like allowing only two non-Mexican born players per team. Some other rules are having a trade deadline so the league stays competitive until the end of the season, finally, the CIBANE league has applied a hard salary cap to maintain fair rosters and promote the use of young local players.
