WOMEN'S
DIVISION
The Women's
Division started in the Fall 2007 season and
featured 5 teams last season (Summer 2009). In
the past, women have proven they can compete in
the Women's Division and in the Men's Division.
This season, teams that register before April
1 will receive a $50 discount.
Teams play 7 Regular Season games with game
times from 1 p.m. - 6 p.m.

LeBronze DIVISION
Our newest
division is the league's lowest
division, LeBronze Division. It's
quickly becoming the league's most
popular division since SSBL enthusiasts
can usually play with friends and family
members. Unlike other divisions where
the competition is fierce, LeBronze
Division is truly recreation because
there are NO PLAYOFFS. The talent level
is lower compared to other divisions but
the amount of family members that come
out to watch LeBronze Division games
makes it exciting nonetheless.
Teams that do not
make the Playoffs in Gold are the only
teams allowed to register. New teams
cannot join this division. Players that
are playing in all other division cannot
play in this division (with the
exception of 2 General Managers).
Do you want to branch away from your
current LeBronze Division team? Are you
not getting playing time?
Current LeBronze Division teams may
branch out to form a team of their own.
Teams that are branching out must
have 3 players from last season's
roster.

GOLD DIVISION
The most
popular division in the league is Gold
Division. The teams are guard oriented and the
action is fast-paced. The Playoffs give it a NCAA
tournament feel since the division has
the most teams.
The division once had 32
teams and Gold continues to be "Gold
Standard". The variety of
competition in Gold makes it appealing
and "stacking up your roster" simply
won't cut it in Gold Division. Most of
the teams that are successful have a lot
of experience playing together and a lot
of teams recruit in the off-season. Do
you have what it takes to take our
veteran teams to the top of the
rankings?

PLATINUM
DIVISION
This is the
Competitive Division. Not an elite player? Are
you intimidated by Diamond Division? Do you feel
like you're too good for Gold Division? Then the
Platinum Division is your division. The teams
are more organized and more structured and
defense is a must. Gold Division elite teams
are encouraged to register in Platinum Division
and this season, the winning team in Platinum
Division will receive a 50% discount for the
following season.

|
DIAMOND
DIVISION
The elite. From the
sharp-shooters, the high-flyers, the true All
Stars, this is where the best competition is
at. 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 former NBA players
playing here.
IF YOU ARE TO BE CONSIDERED THE BEST, YOU MUST
BE PLAYING IN DIAMOND. Players not playing in
Diamond will not be considered for MVP of the
League honors. You will never be the cover boy
for
www.superstarbasketball.org if you're
playing in Gold Division. |

Previews and Recaps
The subplots in
the game are intriguing and for some players, it
brings 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.
Re-live some of your best games and stroll down
memory lane, we have 15 seasons saved in the
archive from MySpace blogs, Lifestyle archive,
and in our Ning forums. |

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 (1-3 weeks) for players to recuperate
from the long, grueling season. |

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...
Week 7! |

Growth
The League started out with 6 teams just a
little
over 3 years 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. |

Virtual Awards
The record books and Champions pages were
remodeled last spring. The All Star Gallery and
End of the Season awards are renovated after
every season. What other league recognizes you
for what you do on the court? Why spend your
time playing in a league where you're nothing
but a jersey number?

Playoffs
This is one of
the most exciting times during the season where
truly, anything happens. The road to the 'chip is
tough especially in Superstar Basketball. The
Playoffs is a 2-day event with the first two
games on the 1st Weekend of Playoffs being the toughest.
What happens when your team makes it to the
Championship round? The long court at Walnut Rec
will host your Championship Game along with
dozens of SSBL All Stars sitting on the
sidelines. Our Championship/All Star Weekend is
on the same weekend in the same gym and there is
a lot of pressure to deliver a Championship in
front of your peers. |

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.
Making threats after the game...suspended.
Double technical fouls...suspended. We enforce
rules because in Superstar, there is no place
for that garbage. |

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 a
Player of the Week.
We do a lot of interviews whether it's on the
recaps, Superstar TV or Superstar Radio. Our
collaboration with Bliss Media Works will bring
more exciting features in the future so stay
tuned. |
