The 2013–14 LEB Plata season is the 13th season of the LEB Plata, the Spanish basketball third division. It is named Adecco Plata as its sponsored identity. The champion of the regular season will be promoted to LEB Oro. The teams between second and ninth position will play a best of five games play off, where the winner will be promoted too to the higher division.
All teams must have in their roster:
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:
After the first leg of the season, the two top qualified teams will play the Copa Príncipe de Asturias and the leader will be the host team.
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 (13th round). If this team doesn't want to host the Copa LEB Plata, the second qualified can do it. If nobody wants to host it, the Federation will propose a neutral venue.
The Champion of this Cup will play the play-offs as first qualified if it finishes the league between the 2nd and the 5th qualified.
