giant tension in the BBL: 12 teams are still fighting for the play-off places | Sport

The Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) experiences one of the most exciting phases of the season because the teams are in the final round of the main round. The Situation is extremely tense before the last two match days. The distance between the places is very low. Alba Berlin, currently in sixth place, is just two defeats from the Telekom Baskets Bonn, which are on 14th place. This unusually tight table constellation means that almost every team still has chances of qualifying for the play-offs.

With the exception of the already secured play-off places for Bavaria and Ulm as well as the teams that are at the end of the table, there is the possibility of a dramatic relegation for many teams. The situation of Bonn is particularly striking, which keeps the chance of the play-ins against all expectations. Even if the past seemed dark, hope for a turn remains alive. At the same time, the team from Würzburg, currently in third place, could slip into the play-ins in the last phase of the main round, which increases the intensity of further encounters.

For teams in places seven to ten, an additional competition for the last two places in the play-off quarter-finals is set, the so-called play-ins. This format ensures that twelve teams still argue about the coveted play-off places-a fact that causes a lot of excitement in the league. The distribution of the qualifications has not yet been decided, and the probability is high that several teams will be tied at the end of the main round.

In the event that teams with the same score, there are complex calculations. Direct comparisons and the basket ratio play a central role in the table. Not all of the scenarios are foreseeable, which further increases the tension and lets the audience fever to the coming matchday.

The upcoming games are not only broadcast live, but also attract numerous fans and specialists who follow the outcome of the main round with great attention. The interest in basketball in Germany has been unbroken and the BBL offers once more exciting encounters with many uncertain outcome this season. It remains to be seen which teams will fight in the play-offs after the last main round games.
