Basketball schedules & brackets
Rec-league basketball games usually run two 20-minute halves with a running clock, so a 60-minute slot including warm-up and changeover is realistic. Ties are broken with overtime, so standings use a simple 2-points-per-win system.
Round robin
Everyone plays everyone. Best for season play and pool stages.
Single elimination
Lose once and you are out. Fastest way to crown a champion.
Double elimination
Everyone gets a second chance through the losers bracket.
