Wikipedia - Women's British Basketball League
The Women's British Basketball League (WBBL) is the top-level women's basketball league in Great Britain, founded on 5 June 2014 as the women's counterpart to the British Basketball League (BBL). The league's headquarters are in Leicester alongside the offices of the men's BBL.
Like the BBL, the organisation uses a franchise-based system so there is no promotion and relegation between the WBBL and the English Women's Basketball League, which forms the lower divisions. Along with the WBBL Championship and the post-season Play-offs, it also runs two knockout competitions featuring all WBBL member teams - the WBBL Cup and WBBL Trophy.
History
Officially approved by the British Basketball League and England Basketball, the newly created Women's British Basketball League was announced to the public on 5 June 2014, and the 2014–15 season was the league's first full season of competition.
The initial line-up included pre-existing teams from England and Wales, competing in a franchise-based organisation similar to the men's British Basketball League model, with no promotion or relegation in operation with the lower leagues. All eight teams from the pre-existing English Basketball League Division One (Women) competition were selected as member clubs, as well as the two finalists from the 2014 Division Two (Women) Play-offs, Brixton Lady TopCats and Leeds Beckett University. Since the league's inauguration, both Leeds and Brixton have resigned from the league, but three new clubs have joined in that time, including the league's first member club from Scotland.
Den britiske WBBL Cup, også kjent som WBBL Cup, er en årlig basketballturnering for kvinnelag i Storbritannia. Den ble grunnlagt i 2008 og er arrangert av Women's British Basketball League (WBBL).
Hvert år konkurrerer de åtte beste lagene i WBBL om WBBL Cup. Turneringen spilles i et cupformat, med kamper som spilles på hjemmebane og bortebane. Det vinnende laget utnevnes til britisk WBBL Cup-mester.
WBBL Cup er en av de mest prestisjefylte basketballturneringene for kvinner i Storbritannia. Det gir lagene mulighet til å konkurrere om et stort trofé og kvalifisere seg til europeiske turneringer.
