FIVE Divisions

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.
 

LeBronze DIVISION
Our newest division is the league's lowest division, LeBronze. 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 including Co-GMs). 

NEW:
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 and is referred to as the Popular 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" .  Diamond Division players will not be allowed to play in Gold Division, per Fall 2009 rule. You may face established teams which aren't good enough for Platinum yet, at the same time you might face teams that are just starting out.

 

PLATINUM DIVISION
This is the Competitive Division. Not an elite player? 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.
 

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 the record breakers 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.

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 13 seasons saved in the archive.

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.

8.
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... Week 7!

6.
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.

 

5.
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 the epitome of it all. The Playoffs which are followed by the Championship Game should your team make it of course. The road to the 'chip is tough specially in Superstar Basketball. The Playoffs is a 2-day event with the first two games on the first day 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. Making threats after the game...suspended. Double technical fouls...suspended. We enforce rules because in Superstar, there is no place for that garbage.

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.

Friends
Superstar Basketball values diversity and we have no color lines. Our basketball community is getting bigger and we provide the forums for friends and teammates to keep in touch whether its in our MySpace forum, Facebook, or in our message boards.
