Season Format

Season Length:  Our 2025 season begins on January 5, 2026 and runs through March 30, 2026.

Game Play:  Our season allows for 9-10 weeks of game play (approximately one game per week), depending on how playoffs are handled.  Each Division (grade level) is assigned a set of game slots per week, and they are scheduled in a round robin fashion throughout the 9-10 weeks of play.  Some divisions have a BYE week.

Playoffs: Each division is typically allotted 2 weeks for playoffs, depending on the playoff format.  Playoffs are single-elimination. Brackets will be posted on the NBL website close to the end of the regular playing season and prior to playoff games.

Schedules: Exact schedules are posted in December and are available on the SCHEDULES tab of the NBL website as well as on your team's TeamSnap page.

Standings: Each week during the season, coaches submit game scores to their Division Scheduler so team standings can be updated on the NBL website.
