The 2010–11 LEB Plata season is the 11th season of the LEB Plata, second league of the Liga Española de Baloncesto and third division in Spain. It is also named Adecco Plata for sponsorship reasons.
15 teams play the regular season. This is a round robin, where each team will play twice against every rival. The champion of the Regular Season is promoted to the 2011-12 LEB Oro season and the eight next teams enter the play-offs, where the winner is promoted too.
The last qualified teams is relegated to 2011-12 Liga EBA.
All teams must have in their roster:
Teams can not sign any player after February 28.
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. This means that in Liga LEB the league ends after every team plays 28 games. The regular season started on October 1, 2010 and finished on April 15, 2011.
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.
If two or more teams have got the same number of winning games, the criteria of tie-breaking are these:
At the final of the season:
(C) indicates Copa LEB Plata champion.
At the half of the league, the two first teams in the table play the Copa LEB Plata at home of the winner of the first half season. The Champion of this Cup will play the play-offs as first qualified if finishes the league between the 2nd and the 5th qualified. The Copa LEB Plata will be played on January 29, 2011.
Teams qualified from 2nd to 9th will play the promotion play-off. If the winner of Copa LEB Plata is qualified between 2nd and 5th at the final of the Regular Season, it will join the play-offs as 2nd qualified. Three best-of-five series will decide who promotes to LEB Oro.
