Four Divisions

WOMEN'S DIVISION
The Inaugural Season started on Season 5 with five teams and the women's division is back with more teams than ever.

GOLD DIVISION
Recreation Division. The lowest division in Superstar Basketball yet arguably the most popular division. "Commish, it's funny how you clown the Gold Division but more people join it." The drama, the trash-talking on the MySpace message boards, everyone seems to just have fun and not take the game so seriously. For some players, winning is everything... for others, it's hanging out with your friends and making new friendships.

PLATINUM DIVISION
Competitive Division. While the elite teams are moving up, it wouldn't be a surprise if some of the more outspoken teams in the Gold Division take the drama with them. Rated R and Thrillers have already committed to "moving up" It's not where the best ballers will be but most people can still have a challenge of playing against competitive teams.

DIAMOND DIVISION
The elite. "We are missing out on some dunks, mannng." The "NO DUNKING" rule at Walnut Rec Center inspired the staff to acquire another gym just because we're missing out on the high-flyers of the League. The dunkers should be in this division along with teams who are looking to play ONLY the best.

Previews and Recaps

Vanilla is great and all but why settle for a flavor that's bland and boring. The subplots in the game are intriguing and for some players, it's brought out their best games. Remember that game when you had 9 three-pointers and everyone read about it because it was archived on a website. How about the time when you had to pick between playing with your Championship team and playing with your new team. Your money will get you a ball game in other leagues but when you accomplish a memorable feat, that memory will live in our archives. "First game for the League and Luke Montilla rips 7 steals..."

8.
Eight Games

8 Games on Saturday (Women's) or Sunday (Men's). That's eight games that lasts 2-3 months, a time period long enough for you to improve and develop yours skills on the basketball court. There's enough time between seasons for players to recuperate from the long, grueling season.

7.
Rivalry Weekend

Remember that fool who played in your team and he went out and started his own team. How about your friend from high school that keeps talking and talking and talking saying how his team is better than yours. The staff will do its best to promote competitive games and the climax is usually on Week 7, the week known as Rivalry Weekend.

6.
Growth

The League started out with 6 teams just a little over a year ago on August 6, 2006. It doubled the following season with 12 teams and in its 3rd season, it had a total of 26 teams. Between the 3rd and 4th season, the competition was higher than expected and we had 4 teams pave way for 10 new teams. 32 teams in 4 seasons is one thing...but it's quality over quantity and that's why teams come back for more.

Playoffs

This is the epitome of it all. The Championship Game. The road to the 'chip is tough specially in Superstar Basketball. The Playoffs is a two day event with the first two games being the toughest. The 1st Round and the Semis take place a week after the season ends and is followed by the Championship Game a week later.

3.
Zero Tolerance for Fighting

Physical play is part of the game. A hard foul is simply that a hard foul but at the end of the game, we're all friends and one big family. The governing body does its best to maintain the integrity of the League and our code of conduct is strict. ZERO TOLERANCE FOR FIGHTING is simply that.

2.
Hype

From the music blaring from the speakers to the hype surrounding your game, there's no question that when you are playing in a big game, you might get somewhat nervous. From the articles, the standings, even on the message boards, sooner or later the spotlight will be on you and it's up to you to prove that you want it. You might even be Player of the Week.
