UBA GM Guidelines

 

  • UBA GMs are graded by administrators in 3 categories (Games Played, Team Management, & Compliance)

  • Games Played

    • Amount of games played is MORE IMPORTANT than wins/losses to this league

    • This shows us you are capable of finishing what you start regardless of the outcome

    • If a GM with a losing record pushes his team to play most of their games he is likely to be graded higher than a GM with more wins but less games played

  • Team Management

    • How well do you manage your team?

    • Having a team that consistently has 5 ready to get on the court speaks volumes of how well you run your team

    • Trading away and releasing players if you have to

    • Keep in mind if you want to trade everyone off the team that you drafted, the problem may be YOU

    • If you suspect a player of throwing a game report them to league management

    • If a player refuses to play report them to league management

  • Compliance

    • Your jersey and court must look nearly identical to the NBA team you are assigned

    • Your court must have the UBA logo on it

    • Every game must be streamed with the Appropriate title

      • UBA Scrimmage for Scrimmage games​

      • UBA Matchup for regular season games
