Although in principle it had been reported that San Martín had to be eliminated with teams from Neuquén, in order to later reach the long-awaited Argentine Championship, the Argentine Basketball Confederation reported the new format for this championship, which already includes the cast directed by Nicolás Letelier.
The idea for this season and especially for an economic issue, is that for each category there will be a kind of Argentine Mega Championship, where four zones of 16 teams each will be available for the entire country, making a total of 64 teams that will participate. in the Argentine Championship.
And San Martín, for having won the Patagonian Cordillera Regional, is one of those classified.
Of course, as of today not all the teams that will play this instance are known, since there are regional tournaments that have not finished, as it happened in the Node of the Patagonian Andean region.
As reported, the teams will integrate some of the four zones by geographical regions, where it is estimated that San Martín de Esquel will integrate the only Patagonian zone.
The form of the game will be a direct elimination of two games, to be played in the same venue, where the first in the zone will face whoever was registered in position 16, the second will do so with the one who is located in position 15 and so on. successively.
The order of the zone will be determined according to the record of games won and games lost in the regional phase, where we remember that San Martín has only had one defeat, the remembered match against Los Pehuenes in Bariloche.
The first elimination phase of this Argentine Championship would be played, in principle, on the weekend of October 14 to 16, as reported.
