2017–18 Basketbol Süper Ligi

The Basketbol Süper Ligi (BSL),[1] also known as Tahincioğlu Basketbol Süper Ligi for sponsorship reasons, is the top professional basketball division of the Turkish basketball league system. In English, it is known as the Turkish Basketball Super League. The league was previously known as the Turkish Basketball League (TBL). Administrated by the Turkish Basketball Federation (TBF), the Basketbol Süper Ligi is contested by 16 teams, with the two lowest-placed teams relegated to the TBL and replaced by the two top teams in that division.

11 clubs have been crowned champions since the inception of the Basketbol Süper Ligi in 1966, with Anadolu Efes winning the title a record 13 times and Fenerbahçe 9 times. In recent years, Fenerbahçe dominated the league by winning 8 titles out of 12 from the 2006–07 season onward.

The BSL replaced the former Turkish Basketball Championship (1946–1967), which was the league's predecessor.

History

According to official records, in Turkey, basketball was first played in 1904, at Robert College. An American physical education teacher laid the foundations of the sport in the country. 7 years later, Ahmet Robenson, a physical education teacher at Galatasaray High School, decided to introduce a new game to the students in 1911. Robenson, who also later became president of Galatasaray, popularized this sport in Turkey.[2][3]

Until late 1966, local basketball competitions were being held in major cities like Istanbul (which hosted the Istanbul League), Ankara, and İzmir. There was also the former Turkish Championship which existed from 1946 to 1967.

The current Turkish top-tier level national league was founded in 1966, by the Turkish Basketball Federation, and began with the 1966–67 season, and it thus replaced those earlier competitions. The Turkish second-tier level league, the TBL (previously known as the TB2L), was also founded three years later in 1969, and since 2011, a third-tier level league TB2L, with the teams divided into two groups.[4]

Format

There are 16 teams in the league, and they play against each other twice, under a league system format, once at their home and the other away. At the end of the season, the top eight teams are entitled to participate in the league's playoffs. The winners of the playoffs are crowned the Turkish champions. The two top teams of the Turkish Second League are promoted to the top level Basketbol Süper Ligi. The two lowest placed teams of the Süper Ligi are relegated.[5]
