2009-10 Euroleague qualifying
The 2009-10 Euroleague begins with a new, two-stage qualifying round that gives eight teams from six countries the chance to win two open places in the regular season. In the first qualifying round, all eight pair off for two-game series (home and away), the four winners of which advance to play the second qualifying round in new pairs. The winners of the second qualifying round's home-and-away series reach the 2009-10 Euroleague regular season. The losers of all the two-game series from both qualifying rounds will play in the 2009-10 Eurocup.

Maroussi, Orleans take qualifying road to Euroleague!
The Qualifying Rounds are over and the Euroleague is complete with two teams that earned their way into the regular season over the weekend. Appropriately enough, those teams were the next-in-line after last season's domestic results in two of Europe's biggest basketball countries - France and Greece. And in both cases, the teams took first-game wins in Qualifying Round 2 on Tuesday and then held on for series victories on aggregate points in Game 2. The team that had to survive its second game on the road was Maroussi Costa Coffee, which lost 75-70 at Alba Berlin on Sunday but won their series by 4 points anyway thanks to a bigger Game 1 victory. Maroussi joins the Euroleague in regular season Group C to play CSKA Moscow, Caja Laboral, Maccabi Electra, Lottomatica Roma and Union Olimpija. Two nights earlier, it was much the same scenario as Etente Orleanaise lost to visiting Benetton Basket 80-82, but won their series by 7 points thanks to a 9-point win in Game 1. Orleans joins in regular season Group B, which also has Olympiacos, Partizan, Unicaja, Efes Pilsen and Lietuvos Rytas.
