Thursday, the 6th of September, starts in Tirgu Jiu this year's edition of "Cupa Enrgia", a pre-season international friendly tournament, organised by LNBM club Energia Tirgu Jiu. The tournament features former Balkan League winners Feni Industries Kavadarci, former Romanian Cup and Romanian Championship winners BCM U Pitesti, last year's Romanian Cup winners and hosts Energia Tirgu Jiu and Romanian Championship silver and bronze medalist BC Mures Tirgu Mures.
The tournament system is Final 4 like. Teams will play semifinal matches, paired by a previous draw. The winners will play for the cup, and the losers for the 3rd place.
The tournament has a very strong field, with all four teams representing similar strength if not style. The games will probably be very close encounters, with many spectacular lead changes, just what the doctor ordered for the basketball hungry fans.
On saturday BC Mures will play against Macedonian outfit Feni Industries Kavadarci, a team they have met before, while playing in the Balkan League (BIBL). The winner of this game will get a showdown for the Cup against the winner of the BCM U Pitesti vs. Energia Tirgu Jiu match.
