What the competition is
The competition distinguishes the league phase, play-in, best-of-five playoffs and Final Four. A regular-season table position and a knockout result therefore answer different questions. The Final Four is a concentrated deciding stage, rather than another full league season or the same series format as the quarterfinal playoffs. Domestic league games remain separate from EuroLeague fixtures.
Following the competition
Keep the competition and stage with a club pairing. The same two clubs can meet in domestic and European basketball without those results joining one table. A postponed game can also leave clubs with different numbers played, so read the table with that context. Use the actual host city and date when converting a European start for Australia.
