Logistics

LEAGUE FORMAT & STRUCTURE

  • 6-week season

  • 8 teams split into 2 conferences

  • Draft-style team selection

  • Weekly games on a set night

  • Regular season + playoffs

  • Standings, seeding, and championship final

Games are played in a controlled, officiated environment to ensure consistency, fairness, and a strong pace of play throughout the season.

Why a 6-Week Season?
Hoop City is structured around a 6-week season to keep the league fast-paced, engaging, and commitment-friendly. Shorter seasons help maintain high attendance, competitive intensity, and player energy, while avoiding burnout or mid-season drop-off.

This format also allows for multiple seasons throughout the year, creating fresh drafts, new competition, and consistently high-quality basketball.

LOCATION & TIMING

  • Location: Brampton (gym location TBD)

  • Game Night: Friday or Saturday

  • Tentative Start Date: March 27

  • Season Length: 6 weeks (regular season + playoffs)

Final scheduling details will be confirmed once pre-registration closes and gym bookings are secured. Players will receive full season details prior to official registration and payment.

Draft

WHY A DRAFT?

Hoop City uses a draft-based format to ensure the league stays competitive, balanced, and engaging from Week 1 through the playoffs.

  • Balanced competition: Drafted teams prevent stacking and help ensure closer, more competitive games.

  • Better game quality: When teams are evenly matched, intensity stays high, and every possession matters.

  • League-wide parity: No dominant super-teams — every team has a chance to compete.

  • Bragging rights: You’ll still compete against friends and familiar faces, with standings and playoffs adding real stakes to every matchup.

The result is a league where players are challenged, engaged, and invested week after week.

CAPTAINS & DRAFT SHOWCASE

Prior to Week 1, the league will host a Draft Showcase, allowing players to scrimmage and showcase their skills.

  • Any player may opt in to be a team captain during registration

  • Selected captains will be contacted directly prior to the draft

  • Captains will draft their teams following the showcase

  • Each team consists of one captain and drafted players

This process ensures transparency, fairness, and competitive balance across the league.
