Americas Schedule: There are 18 teams in BuzzerBeater Americas. The teams are drawn into three first-round groups of eight teams and play a round robin from week 2 to week 8. The top four teams from each group are placed into one of two 2nd round groups, with results not carrying forward. 2nd round is played from week 9 until week 13. The top two teams in each group advance to semifinals during week 14 and finals the Friday of week 14. The two finalists qualify for the World Championships. The remaining semifinalists as well as the 3rd placed teams in each 2nd round group qualify for the Second Chance Qualifiers.
Our objective for first round is clear.
The first game should be a win for us. I set up the team just so I can see the kind of stats we can get without any strategic modifications of the lineup. Everything is standard, base offense and man to man defense.
We have to start somewhere, and this game should allow us to play this way.
