Collegiate Champions League (Philippines)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Collegiate Champions League (CCL), is a collegiate tournament in the Philippines. Patterned after the UEFA Champions League and NCAA's March Madness, the CCL aims to crown the champions of Filipino collegiate basketball. It was established in 2002.

Due to preponderance of collegiate leagues in the county, it is difficult to determine which champion team is the nation's best. As such, the different collegiate leagues send out their best teams in a postseason tournament to determine the "champion of champions."

In 2008, it was announced that the event would be reformatted to become the Philippine Collegiate Championship, an event sanctioned by the BAP-Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas, the country's national basketball federation. [1]

[edit] Notes

  1. ^ BAP-SBP launches the Philippine Collegiate Championship - March 12, 2008
  2. ^ La Salle's 2004 championship was forfeited to FEU after La Salle was discovered to have unkowingly fielded ineligible players.
  3. ^ replacement for the La Salle Green Archers who backed out of the tournament.
  4. ^ a b c d UAAP champion La Salle and UAAP runner-up UE chose not to participate in this tournament, and therefore, forfeited their respective games. La Salle reasoned that it needed a break from competition while UE protested its surprisingly low seeding. Other teams that were also invited, but declined were:
