Each GM has full control of their team — drafting, trading, releasing and signing to field the best roster they can.

Teams
Thirty teams, two conferences, three divisions of five each — the same alignment as the real NBA. Division record is a tie-breaker for the standings, for playoff seeding and for draft order, so it is worth knowing who you share a division with.
Eastern Conference
| Division | Teams |
|---|---|
| Atlantic | Boston Celtics · Brooklyn Nets · New York Knicks · Philadelphia 76ers · Toronto Raptors |
| Central | Chicago Bulls · Cleveland Cavaliers · Detroit Pistons · Indiana Pacers · Milwaukee Bucks |
| Southeast | Atlanta Hawks · Charlotte Hornets · Miami Heat · Orlando Magic · Washington Wizards |
Western Conference
| Division | Teams |
|---|---|
| Northwest | Denver Nuggets · Minnesota Timberwolves · Oklahoma City Thunder · Portland Trail Blazers · Utah Jazz |
| Pacific | Golden State Warriors · Los Angeles Clippers · Los Angeles Lakers · Phoenix Suns · Sacramento Kings |
| Southwest | Dallas Mavericks · Houston Rockets · Memphis Grizzlies · New Orleans Pelicans · San Antonio Spurs |
Each team name links to its forum, where that team's roster post and transactions live. The current GM of each team is on the Teams tab of the league spreadsheet.
Scoring
Nine categories, head-to-head each week:
| Points | Three Pointers Made |
| Rebounds | Field Goal % |
| Assists | Free Throw % |
| Steals | Turnovers |
| Blocks |
Each category is a win. A 6–3 week goes into the standings as six wins and three losses, not as a single win.
Standings
Ties in the standings are broken in this order:
| 1 | Head-to-head |
| 2 | Win % |
| 3 | Total categories won in the regular season |
| 4 | Division record |
Playoff seeding and the in-playoff tie-breakers use different sets — see In-Season.
Commissioner and TAB
The league has one commissioner: JoeyTTU01.
