BrassHoops is a 24-team Strat-o-matic draft basketball league, with a hard salary cap, player contracts up to five years, and free agency. Teams manage their rosters, salary cap space and cash to build a competitive team, with some of the same challenges NBA teams face in managing a team's player contracts to build a winning team for the short or long term.
Gameplay in BrassHoops attempts to be both realistic and relatively straightforward. Coaches decide some but not all of the minute to minute choices, allowing players to play to their natural tendencies rather than have the GM micromanage each shot attempt. Our teams play a 56-game regular season November through March. 12 teams make the playoffs and determine the champion in May.
Teams receive cash bonuses for meeting deadlines, their team's on-court success, and for contributing to the league by holding a league position or writing articles for the rest of the league. In this way, anyone can earn significant cash during the season, which is used to bolster free agent offers in the summer, or in trades.
