QABL
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The QABL (Queensland Australian Basketball League) is a conference of the Australian Basketball Association (ABA). The QABL is broken into two divisions, the Sunstate Division and the Southern Cross Division. It is used as a development league for Queensland teams competing in the NBL.
The league was formed in 1986 as the Queensland State Basketball League and in 1994 merged with the South and East conference of the SEABL to form the North conference of the Continental Basketball Association. This was renamed the Australian Basketball Association in 2000 with the addition of the Big V, Central Australian Basketball League and Waratah League.
