Format and rules

The cup has been alternatively played in two different formats. A round-robin format, where each team plays the others in the tournament once, with the team in possession of the best record (most points or head to head record) declared the winner.<ref name=C2013 />

A finals format, the teams are separated in two groups (usually of three teams), where all teams in a group play each other. The last placed teams in each group then play for 5th place whilst the respective first and second place teams compete in the semifinals, with the winners moving on to the final, all single games.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

The cup traditionally used to open the season,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> however from the 2012 edition it was switched nearer to the end of the season (February–March), leading to a strange situation wherein BC Astana won the cup twice in 2011-12.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

In the 2015 edition, teams were only allowed to field Kazakhstani players, with foreign players barred.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
