[ Revised Rules and Regulations for Flag ]

Base on an 8-team format, each team will play at least four games* (i.e. can only lose four times at most!) While even number of teams is a basic requirement for the format, in addition to the 10-team and 12-team variations, we added a “twisted” bracket^ so in case nine is the final number of teams (see below).

Possible brackets when there are more than eight teams:

  1. 9-team (new)

    Match-ups will be determined by random draw while “Team I” will be determined by the following order if applicable:

    • Champion of previous Southorn Basketball Flag (the Flag);
    • Champion of the latest Southorn Basketball League (the League);
    • A lottery of new team(s) which did not play in the latest League;
    • The highest ranked team of the latest League, if all nine teams were previously in either League or Flag;
    • True random.
  2. 10-team

    “Team I” and “Team J” will follow the arrangement of the 9-team settings mentioned above.
  3. 12-team (the “original” format in 2010)

    “Team 9 to 12” will follow the arrangement of the 9-team settings mentioned above. (Same as in 2010)

Points to note:

  • * The “minimum number of 4 games” only guaranteed in 8-team and for non-seeded teams in 9-team and 12-team format.
  • ^ A 11-team format may be developed, but to be finalized.
