For example after the AnBBL Champions' Final has been played for AnBBL Elite Seasons, when the AnBBL Semi Pro seasons re-set around new-years and at the end of Oslo BBL seasons.

AnBBL consist of two conferences, North Conference and South Conference.

North Conference:
Teams based around Setermoen and Tromsø in northern Norway play against teams from the same area.

South Conference:
Teams based around Hamar and Oslo in southern Norway play against teams from the same area.

The two main AnBBL Tournaments, the Elite season (aka Season XII etc) and the Semi Pro season (aka Semi Pro XII etc), divide their teams into these conferences.

Further dividing into groups due to geographical distances may be done pr conference. If so, they each get the same amount of team slots in any conference playoffs.

The Tournaments of the AnBBL have been many, but the constants are described here:

The Elite Seasons:
A set schedule is followed when playing matches. If a coach fails to play all his games within a season, he receives a punishment (see League structure rule: "Scheduled Tournaments - The Punishment").

The elite teams battle, in two separate Conferences, to attend first the conference playoffs and then have a chance to win the AnBBL Champions' Trophy, becoming the AnBBL Current Champions!

North Conference winner wins the Trophy of The North.
South Conference winner wins the Trophy of The South.
Those winners play the AnBBL Champions' Final to see who wins the AnBBL Champions' Trophy.

Only one team per coach are allowed in the elite seasons.

The Semi Pro's Seasons:
This Tournament is a playground used to test out and pump up next season elite teams, or to keep other teams fit by casual gaming. The Semi Pro's Seasons are played the anarchy way, with no set schedule, coaches arranging their own matches.

There's no limit to the number of teams a coach can have in the Semi Pro's Season, and per default all active AnBBL teams are entered. To get a better overview of the participating teams, The Semi Pro Season is divided into groups. Every team can still play against any other team (exept a team with the same head coach, unless that team also has a co-coach).

When a Semi Pro Season end, teams that has no games played during the season are removed from it before the final results are calculated.

There is no playoffs or trophies in the Semi Pro's Seasons, only the MVP Offense and MVP Defense awards for the top players.

dA Keffo Kup:
dA Keffo Kup is our randomly arranged NAF Sanctioned Tournament, open to all coaches world wide, arranged by the North Conference. The teams will battle for "da Golden Keffo Ork" and "dA New Trophy" in Keffo Krumpany's prestigious tournament promoting Keffo Koffee.

dA Keffo Kup is played similar to the Euro Bowl and World Cup rules, with a few adjustments to make it possible to register online in the AnBBL records, with swiss pairing and a set number of matches over a couple tournament days.

Each Keffo Kup comes with a rules package explaining the particular rules for that Keffo Kup Tournament.

Nellie's League:

Only one team per coach are allowed in Nellie's League.


Champions Cup:
This Tournament is a knockout tournament between the champions from other AnBBL tournaments.

To qualify a team have to have a GOLDEN TROPHY (i.e. having won an AnBBL tournament awarding a 1st place trophy).

Winning the Champions Cup is the second way a team may win the AnBBL Champions' Trophy.

All teams that qualify are entered by default, regardless of their coach.
