Hi all,
I was looking at the image we get when you enter our country's national page ( http://www.buzzerbeater.com/country/44/overview.aspx ). I noticed that Northern Ireland is greyed out. You may not know this, but Basketball is one of those sports where we compete together as one nation. Rugby is the most famous of those sports. We have a Northern Irish team in our own Super League, which is the most important league in the island: Belfast Star, logically from Belfast.
Our association is Basketball Ireland, and Basketball NI is affiliated to it. Also, Northern Irish minor leagues include teams from the Republic that are geographically in the north.

I don't know if any active user is from the North, but I have seen abandoned teams from there like one from Lisburn.

That's the suggestion, to just include NI inside IE, for no reason other than to replicate real life.
We use the same league name (Super League) so I guess we can also include its coverage.

Cheers

Not sure about what you are asking for. The fact that the country is grey is due to North Ireland not having an own league. NI users who wants to play can choose where to do it (into their area) and I supposse most of them wants to play in Ireland so most of the request will end there with the current system.

Exactly. But in real life they are already a part of the Super League, so why not just include NI in the map of the country?
It's the same nation at the end of the day.

Yes!
