WOMEN'S DIVISION
The Women's Division is starting its second season. There were 4 teams last season and the Women's Division is starting to grow and women are proving that they can ball on the same court as the men. Last season, a Gold Division team (Abstract) won the Gold Division Championship with three women players playing for the team.

GOLD DIVISION
Recreation Division. The lowest division in Superstar Basketball yet arguably the most popular division. 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. If you're trying to win a Championship in Gold, you're not saying anything. You're a Champion of recreation basketball... win at the next level and you're saying something. If you're complaining about rosters in the Gold Division, well Gold is just for fun so save your breathe because no one brags about winning at the lowest level.

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 to the Platinum Division. Last season, the drama unfolded in more ways than one and expect to see the competitive ballers and GM get outspoken in Platinum. Not an elite player? Too good for the Gold (recreational) basketball? Then take your game to the next level and play in Platinum.

DIAMOND DIVISION
The elite. From the sharp-shooters, the high-flyers, the MVPs of the lower division, the true All Stars, this is where the best competition is at. Last season's All Star highlights was nothing but a dunkfest between the Platinum Division and the Diamond Division teams on All Star Weekend. You're not going to break any records in Diamond because the other players won't let you. This is where the best competition is at. The more experienced teams play at the highest level so expect to see some former college players, semi-pros, and the record breakers playing here.

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..."

Some GMs will say that the staff favors certain teams. Most of the time its rookies trying to get their shine on and its all part of the rookie hazing experience. We've had teams and players that been here since Day One and EVERYONE will get their shine on from time to time.

Eight Games

8 Games on Sunday (7 for the Women's Division). 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.

The more teams that get added to the league the juicier the rivalry gets. A lot of teams were eliminated before the Playoffs and the losing teams usually want to avenge their defeat. Guess when payback is...

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.
