Login and sync

Before you play, set up your account on the site and make sure Discord is linked.

  1. 1. Log in to the site

    Go to the Locker room and sign in with your gamertag as both your username and password.

    Case matters: uppercase and lowercase must match exactly.

  2. 2. Link Discord

    Once logged in, open your Locker room and link your Discord account from your profile.

  3. 3. Test sync

    In this server, use the slash command /ready to confirm your profile is synced between Discord and the site.

    If the command responds correctly, your account is ready for availability and game alerts.

Welcome

The goal here is simple: recreate the energy of a real basketball court.

In this league, you play with people… but mostly against people you hear talking the whole game.

  • →Trash talk.
  • →Communication.
  • →Rivalries.
  • →Real court energy.

Everyone can hear:

  • → their teammates
  • → their opponents
  • → live reactions
  • → clutch moments
  • → debates during the game

But here, we keep it basketball. You can talk about the game, challenge someone, call out a play — respect is still required. We trash talk the game, not the person.

What Discord is for

The server exists to make 5v5s easier to organize.

  • → You set your Ready to play times
  • → Everyone sees who's around
  • → Games get created
  • → Players join lobbies
  • → Stats, screenshots, and highlights get saved

The goal is that even busy players can just: see active hours, jump in when it's running, hop in chat — compete.

Twitch & content

Most games will be streamed on Twitch. Highlights, clips, and stats feed Discord, the website, seasons, teams, rivalries, and drafts.

Submit a clip to the YouTube channel

Logged-in members can submit highlights for the official league YouTube channel. Every clip goes through team review before it's published.

Before you start

  • → Log in to the Locker room with your gamertag.
  • → Open your Locker room (dashboard).
  • → Prepare a video file of 60 seconds or less (short-form for YouTube).

  1. 1. Open the form

    From the dashboard, go to Submit a video (/dashboard/submit-short).

  2. 2. Choose your video

    Accepted formats: MP4, WebM, or MOV · max size 100 MB · max length 60 s.

    When you select the file, the site shows the duration. If it's over 60 s, trim the clip before submitting.

  3. 3. Fill in the details

    • →Title (optional) — displayed if you provide one.
    • →Match / game — e.g. teams and week.
    • →Event (optional) — link the clip to a scheduled game.
    • →Notes (optional) — players, type of play, context for the review team.
    • →Tags — comma-separated keywords.

  4. 4. Save or submit

    Save draft — saves without starting review; you can submit later.

    Submit for review — sends the clip to the team; status changes to pending approval.

  5. 5. Track your submission

    Check My videos for status: Draft, Pending, or Published. Once approved, the YouTube link appears in the list.

What happens after you submit

  • → Staff reviews the clip (league content, length, quality).
  • → If approved, the video is published on the league YouTube channel.
  • → If rejected, staff notes appear on My videos — fix it and resubmit.

Approved clips may also be shared on Discord (#clips-highlights). For live streams, see the Twitch section above.

Court rules

The goal: real court energy — communication, competition, trash talk, rivalries — always with respect.

What's allowed

  • ✓ talking about the game
  • ✓ challenging a player
  • ✓ calling out a bad play
  • ✓ basketball trash talk
  • ✓ being intense

The goal is for it to feel like a real court.

What's not allowed

  • ✕ personal insults, racism, hate
  • ✕ intimidation, excessive toxicity, harassment
  • ✕ intentionally ruining games

Trash talk the player on the court — not the person behind the mic.

Mic & communication

When you join a game:

  • → join the requested voice channel
  • → keep communication solid
  • → avoid unnecessary noise
  • → respect other players

Showing up for games

If you confirm you're in:

  • → be there, be on time
  • → let people know if you're leaving

Discord is built to organize runs — respect everyone's time.

Twitch / clips / highlights

Most games may be streamed or clipped. By joining games, you accept that highlights may be used across the league, Discord, or the website.

Basketball first

We're here to play, compete, build a community, and have fun. Respect the game, the court, and the people. Now hoop.

How to play

5v5 Reborn is a competitive basketball league: live communication, on-court trash talk, rivalries, team strategy, Twitch games, stats, and seasons — built to recreate real court energy with real structure.

  1. 1. Set your Ready to play times

    Go to #disponibilites-5v5 and post when you can play. The system shows how many players are available, when 5v5s can tip off, and when an official Series can run.

    The more players post availability, the easier runs are to organize.

  2. 2. Teams

    Each team can have up to 6 players and 1 captain. Teams are built during drafts; captains select players for the season roster.

  3. 3. Official matches

    A match becomes official when each team has at least 4 drafted players. Official matches are played as a best-of-3.

    Official results feed stats, standings, highlights, and season progression.

  4. 4. Open Gym (unofficial)

    When a team has fewer than 4 drafted players, the match becomes an "Open Gym": showcase games, evaluate undrafted players, create content, keep playing without a full roster. Stats can still be recorded.

  5. 5. Screenshots & stats

    After every official match, a final scoreboard screenshot is required. Stats and results are recorded for Discord, the site, seasons, clips, and highlights.

  6. 6. Voice & trash talk

    Voice is part of the league: join the lobby, your locker room, communicate with your team. On-court trash talk is allowed, always with respect — we talk about the game, not hate or personal attacks.

  7. 7. Player commitment

    When a player is drafted, they must play at least 6 official Series with their team. Players can't be removed on impulse — there's a review process before roster removal.

  8. 8. Undrafted

    Undrafted players can play Open Gym, fill in certain spots, sign temporary contracts, or become a captain. An undrafted player can create their own team if they present a full roster and an official team name.

Respect the game, the players, commitments, and competitive spirit — build a real basketball community. Now lock in.

5v5 availability

This is where runs start.

Want to play? Set your Ready to play times. The system shows how many players are available, when Open Gyms can tip off, and when official Series can be played.

The more players post availability, the easier it is to get games going (6, 8, 10 players… and then it's on). Even if you can only play certain days, post anyway — it helps everyone.

Open Gym

Unofficial matches, showcases, community runs, Open Gym stats.

Mini Series

Official stats, season play, rivalries, standings.

The more active this channel is, the more alive the league feels.

Game alert

Yo — a 5v5 is forming.

  • → Open Gym coming together
  • → official Series possible
  • → a few players still needed
  • → lineup in the works

Stay ready.

5v5 confirmed

The game is set. The court is full. Check ball — join the lobby.

  • → Mic ready
  • → Energy up
  • → Be on time

If your name is on the list, we're waiting on you. No ghosting.
