We constantly monitor team performance and we invest time and energy to make sure returning teams are placed in the perfect division. Our refs and scorekeepers scout these games and provide us with detailed reports that we use to rank each team. A teams self assessed skill level of beginner to advanced (beginner, beginner-intermediate, intermediate, intermediate-advanced, and advanced) is used as a starting point for analyzing a team and ultimately they’re ranked based on in person evaluations of performance. Teams are then ranked from 1st to last and split up into divisions of 8-12 teams that are close to them in skill level.
Example:
If for a given season there were 100 teams and we put 10 teams per division. After reviewing and ranking all teams, a Team is ranked 25th out of 100. They are placed in division 3 below which includes teams ranked from 21-30.
Example Breakdown

Team Creation
You can add new players to your team anytime on the roster page. To be playoff eligible, players need to have been on the roster before the start of the season or else they need to play in half your games.
Team captains can remove players on the roster page by clicking the pinwheel
next to the teammates name.
On the team sign up form you can list your preferred days & times for games and we’ll do our best to accommodate them.
To have a functional team you should have a minimum of 7 players. We max out the number of players on a team at 18 (If you have more than this please contact the league office).
You can see how much all players on your team have paid so far on the roster page.
When completing the new team sign up form team captains have the option of receiving league T shirts or paying $180.00 extra to upgrade to premium reversible jerseys. After completing the team sign up form the selected uniforms will be sent to the address provided by the team captain.
The league sends email and SMS notifications reminding you to RSVP for upcoming games. The league also sends email and SMS notifications instantly when your stats are uploaded after games.
All league members can control their own notification settings in their account settings page here. You can share this link with anyone else who would like to log in and change their settings. We do not have a way at the moment for captains to mass change the settings for all teammates.
The league puts the top 3 teams into the semi finals. The remaining teams play in a play-in tournament to determine who will receive the 4th and final spot in the semi finals. There will be more information on the playoffs on your league standings page during the season.
The play in tournament is a tournament among all teams in a division who did not finish in the top 3. The winner of the tournament gets the 4th and final spot in the divisional semifinals. The play in tournament keeps teams in play for their divisional even if they have a losing record and are underdogs. We have done a lot of work over the past year to optimize the play in tournament format and it has become a great part of the NYC Basketball experience. There will be more information on the playoffs on your league standings page during the season.

We do our best to put teams of similar skill level together. We make sure your team is competitive within its division. However, if you want to be the best player on your team rate yourself modestly. Conversely, if you would like to surround yourself with talent, rate yourself ambitiously.
