Ok I will suggest National Basketball League and if the BBs don't want to take the risk of a copyright infringement then they will use it. Otherwise I will say the backup name is the Australian Basketball League.

So is everyone up for the Battlers Tournament?

It is good to see you active on the forums Simmo

I was watching your team while I was in the Italian division with interest. It was caning all who came up against it in Cup and Regular Season.

It will be good to have some great competition in the league.

Sounds good to me ... only change I'd make is to call it The Battler's Cup

It is as the BBs feared The NBL do not want to let us use it for free. I wrote to them and enquired about it but they want to charge us.

Hi Niko, thanks for the enquiry. We would consider authorising use of the NBL's intellectual property in exchange for a license fee if you're interested. If you are, we would need further information about your game, for example the price, the markets you are or intend to be in, the quantities you expect being sold and further information about the game itself.
Regards
Jeff

Perhaps he will change his tune when he discovers that the price=FREE and the quantities expected to be sold=0; and that the market is world-wide...?

We could just make it NBBL ... BB = Buzzer Beater.

Although if we did go with the BB, I'd personally rather it be ABBL where A = Australian.

NBBL or ABBL or even ABBA (Australian Buzzer Beater Association) all work for me
