The season will be played in ESPN Fantasy Basketball in several separate leagues.
For the regular season there will be three leagues of 10 teams, divided by 2 Divisions. This pairings will be changed every year, always maintaining 2 matchups inside a conference, and 1 matchup between conferences, repeating after every 9 years.
- 12/13 - Atlantic vs. Southeast, Central vs. Pacific, Northwest vs. Southwest
- 13/14 - Central vs. Southeast, Atlantic vs. Northwest, Pacific vs. Southwest
- 14/15 - Atlantic vs. Central, Southeast vs. Southwest, Northwest vs. Pacific
- 15/16 - Central vs. Southeast, Atlantic vs. Pacific, Northwest vs. Southwest
- 16/17 - Atlantic vs. Southeast, Central vs. Southwest, Northwest vs. Pacific
- 17/18 - Atlantic vs. Central, Southeast vs. Northwest, Pacific vs. Southwest
- 18/19 - Central vs. Southeast, Atlantic vs. Southwest, Northwest vs. Pacific
- 19/20 - Atlantic vs. Southeast, Central vs. Northwest, Pacific vs. Southwest
- 20/21 - Atlantic vs. Central, Southeast vs. Pacific, Northwest vs. Southwest
The regular season will last 18 weeks, and that means every team plays twice against each opponent on their league.
The scoring for this league will be H2H Most Categories the categories we will be using are as follows:
- Points (PTS)
- Blocks (BLK)
- Steals (STL)
- Assists (AST)
- Rebounds (REB)
- Turnovers (TO)
- Field Goal Percentage (FG%)
- Free Throw Percentage (FT%)
- Three Points Made (3PM)
The tie breakers for regular season matchups are:
- Less minutes played.
- PTS (Points) category.
The playoff seeding will be based on:
- Regular season record for the Western and Eastern Conference like in NBA, regardless of the season Division Matchups.
- The winner of each Division plus 4th best gets top 4 seeds determined by their record, and next four highest records for each conference gets 5-8 seeds.
The playoffs will be a separately created league with random players on the teams during the regular season. Then once we hit week 19, the 16 playoff teams will be invited into this league and the rosters will be adjusted to match the real playoff teams.
Weeks 19, 20, 21, and 22 will be each round of the NDL Playoffs.
