LEAGUE FORMAT & STRUCTURE
6-week season
8 teams split into 2 conferences

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.

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.
