I'll just be watching it streamed on channel 7's Comm Games site. I think they'll be having every Boomers game televised.
Interesting that there really isn't much promotion or info, as these games are held here!

What is the format of the Commonwealth Games tournament for basketball. I see that there are two pools:
A:
Australia
New Zealand
Canada
Nigeria
B:
England
Cameroon
Scotland
India
I presume the top 2 seeds of each pool progress to the semis. This will lead to boring semi-final games as pool A seems to have the top 4 teams in the tournament.
At least it means Australia will have more challenging games throughout the preliminary rounds.

It's a two-team tournament, really, so essentially everything prior to the gold medal game is utterly pointless. Might as well group the stronger teams together and have slightly less embarrassing pool games.

Is there any way to watch on-demand? I missed today's game and was hoping they'd have a system like the Olympics, but it appears not.
They have a website but you have to pay. Olympics were free. Strange.

I bought the premium membership, but that only opens up more live channels so you can watch what you want when it's on. Doesn't have any VOD though.

At the conclusion of the Pool stage, the top two teams from Pool A will proceed to the semi-finals. Meanwhile, the bottom two teams from Pool A will play the top two teams from Pool B in the qualifying finals with the remaining two Pool B teams will be eliminated. The winner of the qualifying finals will then advance to the semi-final. This should mean more meaningful games...but the Australian's and Kiwi's in the men are a step up on everyone else.
