WTF - Elite Classic High Stakes Hoops

What the hell is this game ?

I'm watching it on Ten One. I found this but I still don't get it. is it a winter league type game or a competitor to the NBL ?

and why does it say it is live, ie, why is being played middle of the day on tuesday ?

Just a mini competition i think, winning team gets 250,000 at the end. Teams get a period in which a 3 pointer will = to 4 points.

Also heard One HD will be showing 2 NBL games per week plus selected Boomers and Opals matches from next season.

xcrap that is great news about One HD. I'm glad the NBL is going to get that right.

Seriously topugh watching it today on TV the stands were empty. I had not heard of it. I wonder who is bankrolling it and what purpose does it serve, commonwealth / olympic games selection

There were like 10 people in the stands watching

I watched a bit of both games todays and yes seriously there were 10 people in the crowd and they were probably family. Is this competition some front for international money laundering or something ?

Wow they even have a website https://www.highstakeshoops.com/ and even with the website I can't work out the rules.

Have a look at the owner rights..... I don't know if that means they invested money or something..... anyhow AFL's Buddy Love has owner rights on one of the teams.

This reaks of crickets IPL and may explain why the NBL has nothing on this competion.

Oh and Rod no wonder there were only 10 people look at the ticket prices https://www.proticket.com.au/event.asp?eventid=548

The marketing is much better today... there's one big family there of about 7 people... so they only need three more people to match yesterday.

You know it is bad when you can hear each individual clap.

Probably rent-a-crowd.

can't bet on it = don't care about it  

seriously though, what terrible timing to hold this inaugural event - middle of the day on weekdays just five weeks after the NBL has finished.   

I do like Luke Schensher's new haircut though. Now he looks like a 9-foot Ronald McDonald

Some really good players, Mike Helms.....How come no team picked him up to play?

Greame Dann = Epic fail

Some books have a market for the semi finals
