Scoring system There are multiple ways for players to accumulate points during games to make their way into 1 of the 4 captain spots.
Win Points Win points are all about the team performance. They accumulate during both individual quarters and overall game wins. Each quarter is worth +50 points and overall games are worth +100 points. If a quarter is tied, the points roll over to the subsequent quarter.
Game MVPs After each game, the players and members of The Unlimited Club will vote for players who they feel had standout performances. These points will be added to the player's individual total. Points will be awarded as follows: MVP 1: +90 points MVP 2: +60 points MVP 3: +30 points
Individual Stats The final component of points is individual stats. Players will earn points based on their performance: Assist: +10 Steal: +10 Block: +10 Shooting Foul Drawn: +4 Personal Foul Drawn: +4 Offensive Foul Drawn: +8 Defensive Rebound: +5 Offensive Rebound: +10 Made FT: +10 Made 2: +20 Made 3: +30
Players can also lose points for certain actions, such as committing fouls, turning over the ball or missing a shot: Shooting Foul Committed: -8 Personal Foul Committed: -8 Offensive Foul Committed: -16 Other Foul Committed: -8 Turnover: -10 Missed FT: -10 Missed 2: -10 Missed 3: -10
Captains Each week, based on the point system, the top 4 players will draft their teams. They will draft in a snake style system.
Week 1 Captains: Kelsey Mitchell, Mercedes Russell, Odyssey Sims, and DiJonai Carrington Week 2 Captains: Natasha Cloud, Lexie Brown, Isabelle Harrison, and Mercedes Russell Week 3 Captains: Tianna Hawkins, Lexie Brown, Natasha Cloud, and Isabelle Harrison Week 4 Captains: Tianna Hawkins, Natasha Cloud, Isabelle Harrison, and Odyssey Sims Week 5 Captains: Tianna Hawkins, Natasha Cloud, Isabelle Harrison, and Lexie Brown
