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 | Western Conference |
|---|---|
| Atlantic | Northwest |
| Boston Celtics | Denver Nuggets |
| Brooklyn Nets | Minnesota Timberwolves |
| New York Knicks | Oklahoma City Thunder |
| Philadelphia 76ers | Portland Trail Blazers |
| Toronto Raptors | Utah Jazz |
| Central | Pacific |
| Chicago Bulls | Golden State Warriors |
| Cleveland Cavaliers | Los Angeles Clippers |
| Detroit Pistons | Los Angeles Lakers |
| Indiana Pacers | Phoenix Suns |
| Milwaukee Bucks | Sacramento Kings |
| Southeast | Southwest |
| Atlanta Hawks | Dallas Mavericks |
| Charlotte Hornets | Houston Rockets |
| Miami Heat | Memphis Grizzlies |
| Orlando Magic | New Orleans Pelicans |
| Washington Wizards | 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.
The Trade Approval Board is a separate body that runs the league's day-to-day decisions. Its size varies. Current membership:
| Member | Team |
|---|---|
| JoeyTTU01 | Spurs |
| SMBK | Suns |
| HoldenTyler | Cavaliers |
| JHarrell | Grizzlies |
| morf1980 | Pacers |
| rock30 | Pistons |
| ballzach32 | Clippers |
What TAB does
| Vote on trades | A race to three approvals or three denials. If a TAB member is involved in the deal, majority vote wins instead |
| Approve or confirm transactions | Re-signs, waivers and free agent signings |
| Update the league spreadsheet | The league's source of truth for contracts, waivers and draft picks |
| Monitor and warn on rules violations | Including the anti-tanking warnings |
| Adjudicate disputes and penalties | The final word when something is contested |
