East Conference

The East Conference refers to a division within a sports league, such as the NBA or NCAA, grouping teams based on geographic location. It helps organize competitions, schedules, and playoffs by grouping nearby teams, fostering regional rivalries and reducing travel. For example, in the NBA, the Eastern Conference includes teams from the eastern part of the United States and Canada. This structure simplifies logistics and creates a sense of regional identity among teams and fans, while allowing for easier standings comparisons and playoff qualification within the conference.
