WINTER 2010 SEASON |
|
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. |

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! |

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 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. |

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
Player of the Week. |
