Rules

What is AdmiralBet ABA Basketball Fantasy?

AdmiralBet ABA Basketball Fantasy is a real-time simulation game that allows users to show their skills in creating virtual basketball teams consisting of players who take part in the 2026/27 ABA League season.

Each AdmiralBet ABA Basketball Fantasy team will consist of 10 players at a time. An AdmiralBet ABA Basketball Fantasy team's weekly score will be based on the official index rating of all 10 players and the success of their teams in the real ABA League games.

AdmiralBet ABA Basketball Fantasy will be played during the ABA League Regular Season only. The weekly and cumulative scores of all participating AdmiralBet ABA Basketball Fantasy teams will determine rankings.

Duration

AdmiralBet ABA Basketball Fantasy will start mid-September 2026 and will last until the final date of the ABA League Regular Season, until the end of Round 18.

Participants may register teams at any time from the launch of the 2026/27 AdmiralBet ABA Basketball Fantasy through the Regular Season.

Restrictions

ABA League employees and all paid collaborators may play the game but are not eligible to win any prizes.

Should any of the above-mentioned win a prize, the prize will go to the next-ranked team.

Competition System

Each registered user may create ten (10) teams only. Each team will have an initial budget of 400 credits and must put together a team with ten (10) players distributed as follows:

• 2 point guards
• 4 shooting guards and small forwards
• 4 power forwards and centers

Each team will have 5 bench players and 5 starting lineup players, amongst which the user selects a captain. Selecting the starting lineup and captain is important, since those players' index ratings are multiplied.

Starting lineup

The starting lineup must consist of:

• 1 point guard
• 2 shooting guards and small forwards
• 2 power forwards and centers

Each team will be allowed to substitute three (3) players per week. The substitution period begins immediately after the last match of the previous round ends and expires 1 hour before the start of the next round's first game.

Once per season, each player will have the right to change the entire team between two rounds.

Team Management

A starting budget of 400 credits for the purchase of 10 players is available to each new AdmiralBet ABA Basketball Fantasy team.

The price of players may rise or fall after the season begins, depending on their average index ratings in ABA League games and the success of their teams.

Index rating points will be applied to each player's price in credits at a rate of one to four:

The same rate will be applied to the 10% bonus for all players with positive index ratings in weeks when their teams win official ABA League games.

A player's price may not go up or down more than 15% from one week to the next, although his average index rating may keep his price rising or falling.

No player's price can fall below 5 credits. There is no maximum price in credits for a player.

Before the start of the ABA League season, players may be bought and sold freely up to the limit of 10 players and 400 total credits per team.

After the start of the season, no more than three (3) players per AdmiralBet ABA Basketball Fantasy team may be bought or sold, according to their current price in credits, between two rounds.

All substitutions must be made at least 1 hour before the start of the first ABA League match of the round. After that, the teams will be locked until the end of the last game of the round.

If fewer than 400 credits are spent at the time of creating an AdmiralBet ABA Basketball Fantasy team, the extra credits remain available for use in the future.

The worth of an AdmiralBet ABA Basketball Fantasy team may rise above 400 credits due to increases in the value of that team's players.

Scores

Each official ABA League player will get his own AdmiralBet ABA Basketball Fantasy score for each ABA League game in which he officially plays one second or more.

Bench players

The score of a bench player will be the equivalent of his official ABA League statistical valuation in that game, plus a 10% bonus when his ABA League team wins.

The bonus will not be applied if a player receives an index rating of zero (0) or lower.

Starting lineup

Each team will have five starting lineup players, who will receive double the amount of points scored in a single round, plus a 10% bonus when their ABA League team wins.

Captain

Each team will have the option to select one player as captain. The captain will receive triple the amount of points scored in a single round, plus a 10% bonus when his ABA League team wins.

Players who do not appear in a game will receive an AdmiralBet ABA Basketball Fantasy score of zero (0) for that week.

For all rescheduled ABA League games, the players' average scores will be counted as their round scores if the game is not played in the same week as initially planned. The same applies to players of teams that are free in a certain week.

The score of each AdmiralBet ABA Basketball Fantasy team is obtained by adding the individual scores of its ten (10) players, including negative scores.

Each AdmiralBet ABA Basketball Fantasy team will have a weekly score and, starting from the second week, an accumulated score.

New weekly and accumulated standings for all AdmiralBet ABA Basketball Fantasy teams will be published after the conclusion of each round of the ABA League Regular Season.
