2012–13 LEB Oro season
The 2012–13 LEB Oro season was the 17th season of the Liga Española de Baloncesto, a Spanish basketball league. It was named Adecco Oro as its sponsored identity. The champion of the regular season would be promoted to Liga ACB. The teams between second and ninth position will play a best of five games play off, where the winner would be promoted too to the higher division.
Competition format
Eligibility of players
All teams must have in their roster:- A minimum of six players who played in Spain during three season being between 15 and 20 years old.
- A maximum of two non-EU players. This players can be replaced by players from the EU or ACP countries.
- A maximum of three players from the EU or ACP countries.
Regular season
Each team of every division has to play with all the other teams of its division twice, once at home and the other at the opponent's stadium.Like many other leagues in continental Europe, the Liga LEB takes a winter break once each team has played half its schedule. One feature of the league that may be unusual to North American observers is that the two halves of the season are played in the same order—that is, the order of each team's first-half fixtures is repeated in the second half of the season, with the only difference being the arenas used. This procedure is typical in Europe; it is also used by La Liga in football.
Since the first round of the second leg, if two or more teams have accumulated the same number of winning games, the criteria of tie-breaking are these:
- Head-to-head winning games.
- Head-to-head points coefficient.
- Total points coefficient.
At the final of the season:
- The regular season winner promotes directly to Liga ACB.
- Teams qualified between 2nd and 9th, will join the promotion play-offs to ACB.
- Teams qualified in positions 12th and 13th will play the relegation playoffs.
- Team qualified in last position is relegated directly to LEB Plata.
