CBL Championship Game Friday Night in Cary
June 21, 2011 - Continental Basketball League (CBL)
Cary Invasion News Release
Several late season factors resulted in a decision by CBL officials to return to the single playoff/championship game format that was used in the 2010 season to crown the Savannah Wildcats as champions. This year, that game will be played at 7 pm on Friday, June 24th at the Young Center in downtown Cary, North Carolina between the Cary Invasion, the league's North Division champion with a league-leading 11-1 record, and the CBL South Division representative, the Florida Flight.
"We have learned through a half-dozen seasons in minor league basketball that playoff venue scheduling can be challenging and that teams are under the most financial pressure at the end of the season. For those reasons, we have been proponents of single game playoffs or regular season records determining league champions. Both approaches put more emphasis on regular season games, which we believe are good for the business. We respect the league's decision and look forward to an exciting championship game in Cary later this week," says Mark Janas, Owner and General Manager of the Cary Invasion.
All tickets sold to date in Cary for what was once a divisional playoff game will be honored for the championship game on the same day and time.
