Basketball fans are in for even more thrills this season as teams battle it out across two conferences, the Toucan and the Maya, for a shot at the ultimate prize: the Benny’s Jaguar Cup. Much like the NBA’s Eastern and Western Conferences, this format adds a new layer of competition and strategy. Teams will have to dominate their conference before earning the right to compete for the championship title. Doctor Paul Flowers explained that this setup is designed to raise the stakes and keep fans on the edge of their seats all season long.

“One of the key things we did was create conferences, we created the Maya conference and the Toucan conference. Why the Maya and the toucan, it is because our identity is from the Maya from tourism. Tourism is our biggest foreign reserve earner and what do they advertise every day, the jaguar, the Maya community, so we try to cap the rainforest. That is why in a brainstorming meeting, Dr. Gordon and my son, Paul Flowers Jr. came up with this concept of this is a jungle, survival of the fittest who will be the apex predator. The apex predator is the jaguar. The jungle is what we market, and the jungle has been the place that nobody wants to go to because you go in there and don’t know up from down and nobody can find you. That is what the BPBL is. You want to win the Jaguar Championship and stand as the apex predator; you must follow a gauntlet.”
