The driving atmosphere of the competition will be created by an impressive multimedia platform with a huge number of screens, lighting effects and professional sound – each game will turn into a sports show. The main tournament will be held in two stages, where everyone will play with everyone. 8 teams will advance to the playoffs, which will play according to the Olympic system.

On March 14, registration for the draft combine tournament was opened, during which everyone can get the opportunity to join one of the teams and compete for the main prize. Similar to the annual NBA selection system, to get into the best teams, participants will have to overcome a real basketball challenge: perform several sports tests and shots, as well as play 5v5, and show their best.
The creators of the tournament are the founders of the sensational BASEMENT MOSCOW parties in partnership with Phil Kostrubov. By the way, their team will also take to the court. “We decided to make a really cool show and play by our own rules! No basketball fan will remain indifferent. See you on the floor!”, — said one of the founders of BASEMENT Sergey Mardoyan
