Superstar Basketball has doubled in each of its first 3 seasons from 6 teams, to 12, to 26 teams. This Spring, we will cap out at 40 teams. The League is currently deciding whether it will stay with 2 Divisions (Gold and Platinum) or expand with a new Upper Level division, Diamond Division.

This coming season, we will require a $150 deposit for teams that can't pay the full amount. Why are we doing this?
 -All TEAMS WILL HAVE TEAM STATS.
- ALL PLAYERS WILL BE INCLUDED IN OVERALL STATS.

For teams that cannot pay the full amount an option to pay on a weekly basis will be introduced.

As the League grows bigger, the demand for statistics to be delivered on time will grow and to fund the back-end operations of providing stats on time, Referee fees will increase from $30 to $35. We are looking for Stats people and staff writers. Please e-mail the link below if you're interested in being part of our staff.

PENDING RULE CHANGE

Superstar Basketball League is progressive and is open-minded to changes. As long as the process is easier for players, for General Managers, and for League officials, we will do what we can to make sure your experience with Superstar Basketball is superior to other leagues.

1.

GOLD DIVISION
There will be no such thing as a DEADLINE to add players. Players MUST play (or be present to take a roster picture) in the first 2 games to be considered as part of the team. After 2 games, the ROSTER IS FINAL. If a player cannot make it to the first 2 games, the player isn't part of the team, and will be considered a 'RINGER'.  If a player is injured, he/she can still show up in street clothes but will require to show up so that his/her roster picture can be taken.

What does this solve?
Teams cannot dispute that a player was added on an e-mail that was sent via text message, e-mail, Nintendo or what have you.

PLATINUM DIVISION
Teams in the Platinum Division that are "hooked" up with a team from the Gold Division can add players ONLY from their Gold Division team until Sunday, Week 4. Teams from Gold Division and Platinum Division can "hook" up until Week 2. If the player from the Gold Division is playing for a different Platinum Division team, they cannot be added to the team. Only 1 player can play for 1 team per division.

What does this solve?
Teams can compete at a higher level in the Platinum Division and teams will remain competitive because of the availability of other players. We are willing to 'promote' players from the Gold Division team to a more competitive Platinum Division team.
 

2. Shot Clock - 35 seconds.

What does this solve?
Ohh whatttt? It's about time is what we have to say. Next season, we will experiment with implementing a shot clock in the Platinum Division. 

3. Name change of Team Captains to General Managers.

What does this solve?
The staff recognizes how difficult it can be when it comes to team management. The name "Team Captain" doesn't justify how much work a team leader does and to give Team Captains more recognition, we will refer to them as GMs.

LEAGUE STRUCTURE

Every team that plays in our league isn't just a team, it is a FRANCHISE. We provide high quality services to make sure that Superstar Basketball League has the honor in providing you the opportunity of participating in our basketball league. Our unique services for teams include: archive of all games, customization of team logos, game previews in our weekly newsletter, and the chance for teams to order personalized basketball jerseys.

Our teams are diverse in talent, age, race, and character. Despite our differences, one thing that we all have in common is our love for basketball. Through basketball, we promote brotherhood, unity, respect, and understanding. We have ZERO tolerance for fighting.

Team Captains are the owners of the franchise. They have full authority in making roster changes, team name changes, and the privilege of participating in league decisions. We work with them to make sure your franchise is fully accommodated.    

OUR GOALS

In our first full year, our main priority is to maintain quality throughout our growth process. We started with the original 6 teams: Dynasty, Foundation, Game Breakers, Natural Born Thrillers, So Cal All Stars and Team Outkast. In the second season, the amount of teams doubled and we added Walnut Rec Center as one of our gyms.

For the upcoming Winter season (3rd season), we will accommodate 24 teams. We are excited because new teams will provide fresh competition, bigger rivalries, and better talent. We will do our best to surpass expectations while adding new innovative features. Currently, our features include: Game Logs, Team Profiles, Player of the Week, Game of the Week, Nightcap (recap of games), Sortable Stats, Power Rankings for players and teams, All Star Game, and of End of the Year Awards.

We truly believe that each player deserves more than just an opportunity of playing in a league. We believe that they should experience the complete basketball experience because basketball isn't just a game, it's a lifestyle.
