Abstract: Abstract We provide a brief economic characterization of the professional domestic league currently known as the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA). Our focus is on tracking competitive balance, interesting in other leagues worldwide, for insight into interesting institutional change. Game uncertainty, playoff uncertainty, and consecutive season uncertainty all pose the same type of challenge as in other leagues worldwide. In addition, an experiment with promotion and relegation offers insight into current research and policy questions worldwide.
