CBA announce changes to 2006-07 schedule, Vancouver and Atlanta to sit out season

Published on October 19, 2006 under Continental Basketball Association 1 (CBA 1) News Release

ALBANY, NY (October 19, 2006) - The Continental Basketball Association announced today that the 2006-07 schedule will now consist of eight teams instead of the previously announced ten teams. The Atlanta Krunk Wolverines and the Vancouver Dragons have received permission from the CBA Board of Directors to move from an "A" status to a "B" status and will not participate in the 2006-07 season. Both franchises will return to the CBA as full "A" members for the 2007-08 season.

The 2006-07 CBA season will consist of eight teams, Albany Patroons; Butte Daredevils; Great Falls Explorers, Indiana Alleycats; Minot Skyrockets; Pittsburgh Xplosion; Utah Eagles; and the Yakama Sunkings. The Patroons; Alleycats; Skyrockets; and the Xplosion will make up the American Conference with the Daredevils; Explorers; Eagles; and the Sunkings making up the National Conference. The two teams with the most quarter points in each conference will meet for the conference championship with each winner moving on to vie for the CBA Championship. Each CBA Playoff series will be contested in a best of three format, with the lowest seed hosting the opening contest and the higher seed hosting the final two games.

"While we are saddened that the Vancouver Dragons and the Atlanta Krunk Wolverines have decided to move to "B" status for the upcoming season, we are confident that they have made the best decision for themselves and the CBA to succeed in the 2006-07 season," said CBA Director of Operations Dennis Truax. "The Dragons have run into arena lease problems which necessitated their not playing this season. The Krunk Wolverines have chosen to take this time to solidify their operations and with the Dragons choosing to go to a "B" status, the Krunk Wolverines felt that it was in their and the CBA's best interests to move to a "B' status and return to the court for the 2007-8 season."

"It is unfortunate that Atlanta and Vancouver will not be able to participate this season, "said CBA Executive Committee Vice-President Joe Clark. "We have eight strong teams for this season and with the previously announced expansion for 2007-08 and the return of Atlanta and Vancouver, the future is bright for the CBA"
