"Damen-Basketball-Bundesligen" is the name of the association that runs the championship, i.e. the first and second division, and which was founded in 2001 (according to the German article), not of the league or the championship (compare German champions (basketball)) themselves. Note that "(Bundes-)ligen" is the plural form, and that we needn't transfer the hyphens that are mandatory in the German language, but not in English (compare de:Basketball-Bundesliga and Basketball Bundesliga; however, there also is Fußball-Bundesliga). The name of women's basketball's first division in Germany actually is 1. Damen-Basketball-Bundesliga. --Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 07:32, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
