Baseball in Spain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Spanish baseball league is divided into divisions. The top teams play in the División de Honor. In each division, a team plays all other teams twice, once at home and once away, and two matches in the same day, during the regular season. The top three teams at the end of the regular season play in the Final Play-off competing for the title of Spanish ACB Champion and the last three play the promotion for the relegation. The champion and other top teams play in the various European leagues and championships.
The Spanish league teams compete in Europe under CEB most notably in the Baseball Champions League and CEB cup.
The Spanish teams also compete in a domestic cup competition each year, called the Copa del Rey de Beisbol.
