The 2022 Season was the Athletes Unlimited Basketball's first in existence. The season was played in Las Vegas and ran from January 26 to February 26. The format in which teams are redrafted each week allows athletes to accumulate points for both individual and team performances, culminating with one individual winner.
Tianna Hawkins became the inaugural Overall Season Winner - finishing with 6,836 points. She also led in many statistical categories. She led the league in rebounds (166) and ranked second in points (357), and owns single-game records for points (43), leaderboard points (790) and field goals (19).
There are multiple ways for players to accumulate points during games to make their way into 1 of the 4 captain spots.
Win Points
Win points are all about the team performance. They accumulate during both individual quarters and overall game wins. Each quarter is worth +50 points and overall games are worth +100 points.
If a quarter is tied, the points roll over to the subsequent quarter.
Game MVPs
After each game, the players and members of The Unlimited Club will vote for players who they feel had standout performances.
These points will be added to the player's individual total. Points will be awarded as follows:
MVP 1: +90 points
MVP 2: +60 points
MVP 3: +30 points
Individual Stats
The final component of points is individual stats. Players will earn points based on their performance:
Assist: +10
Steal: +10
Block: +10
Shooting Foul Drawn: +4
Personal Foul Drawn: +4
Offensive Foul Drawn: +8
Defensive Rebound: +5
Offensive Rebound: +10
