what is

AGENCY BALL

Agencyball is a recreational basketball league that’s made up by individuals and teams representing the digital community in Toronto. The league is organized by volunteers. Everyone is welcome to register (link) a team, or as a free agent. Games are played downtown and broadcast live-to-air on this website. Trash talking is done on the #agencyball hashtag and sometimes on the court. And It’s all in good fun.

General Rules

8 weeks of round-robin games
top 4 teams make the playoffs
round-robin games are a best-of-5 series with games going up to 11 points
if two teams tie in the same position during the round robin it will come down to point differential (total points scored over the whole round robin)
playoff games are single-game eliminations up to 21

Winning

round robin: winner must win by 2, but this caps out at 15 (so an 11-10 game is not possible, but a 15-14 game is possible)
playoffs: winner must win by 2, but this caps out at 25
