Circuit Bancaixa name is taken from its main sponsor, the Valencian Savings bank CaixaBank.
The league was initially created by the retired pilotari Alfred Hernando (aka Fredi).
The league, which originally just featured the best local players, has since expanded and gained prestige.
During the 2007-2008 sports season, eight teams participated for the first time, with three feridors and six replacing pilotaris.
The Circuit Bancaixa slightly changes the Escala i corda rules in order to promote the sport and TV broadcasts.
