In 2010, with the league changing name to Liga Nacional de Baloncesto, the Sur conference was renamed Sureste (Southeast).
In 2019 the team number was reduced to 6, and the league reintroduced the round-robin tournament, eliminating the conference system.
This was eliminated in 2018, with the folding of Huracanes del Atlántico, and the league resumed the original playoff format, reintroducing the semifinals.
