It was an 8 team single-elimination knockout tournament, and was held in one arena. It was held under a format similar to that of the Spanish King's Cup. The winner of the tournament received a place in the FIBA South American League.

History

The Torneo Súper 8 tournament began in 2005, and it was the replacement for the earlier Torneo Top 4 (Top 4 Tournament) cup tournament.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as basketball league. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5801952. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2005.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
