The Scottish Basketball Championship Men is the national basketball league of Scotland. The league forms the third tier of British basketball (inline with the National Basketball League) after Super League Basketball, where Scotland currently has one representative in the Caledonia Gladiators, and British Championship Basketball.
Each season, teams compete in a round-robin league format, with the team finishing top of Division 1 crowned champion. Currently, the four highest-finishing teams at the end of the league season then enter a play-off tournament to determine the Playoffs champion.
History
In its present form, the Scottish Basketball Championship traces its legacy to the Scottish National Basketball League, which was founded in 1969. Its origins lie in the regional East of Scotland and West of Scotland leagues of the 1940s and 1950s; the Scottish Cup, first contested in 1947; a first attempt to organise a National League competition in 1957, and the Scottish-American League of the late 1960s, which included teams from United States military bases in Scotland, such as USN Edzell.
