Country basketball concept
Had a thought the other day about the lack of country basketball after junior level after reading a post on here the other day and made me think of a little country basketball league that could be run over summer. Just want some feedback I guess:
It would be played in 2 stages, division pool stage and then into championship pool stage. 3 divisions might be central, east and west. West would be your whyallas Lincolns, Central would be Yorkes, gawlers and so on.
I will just say that the 3 divisions have 4 teams for a total of 12. The divisional round is to cut down on travel times for teams, each team plays each other twice, home and away. The top of this pool after 6 rounds is the division champ.
The championship pool sees the 3 divisional champions face each other twice, home and away and after 4 rounds an overall country champion is crowned.
This would be played in summer obviously divisional games late October to early December, championship games to be played late January and feb.
As footy is huge in the country it gives them something to do in the off season and doesn't clash with any part of the season which is a plus.
Obviously a lot more detail is needed but as a raw idea I think it could work and revive the country scene a little
