ACB annoyed for passports' issues. Board will vote on a new regulation
Board of ACB will vote the new regulation of passports on Monday. They will cut the number of bosman/cotonou down to 3 and will increase "extras" from 2 to 4
Big changes are expected in next board of ACB. The four year contract with Spanish Federation for the number of foreigners is expiring and from next July a new regulation must be approved.
ACB and Spanish Federation are very annoyed about this "corrida" to obtain cotonou passports and so they will vote a new regulation that cuts the number of bosman/cotonou in the roster.
Spain has two type of rules for this season:
2014/15 - Roster with 11 players: 4 Spanish, 5 bosmans/cotonous, 2 extras
2014/15 - Roster with 12 players: 5 Spanish, 5 bosmans/cotonous, 2 extras
Next season looks like ACB will accept only rosters with 12 players with 4 extras and only 3 bosmans/cotonous:
2015/16 - Roster with 12 players: 5 Spanish, 3 bosmans/cotonous, 4 extras.
Many teams will have to take decision around many players in their rosters. This new regulation is designed to discourage players from chasing meaningless passports.
