Burger King 3X3 National Tour

Basketball New Zealand (BBNZ), alongside Burger King, are bringing 3X3 basketball to a community near you this summer.

3X3 is fast becoming a global sensation, with a professional world circuit played in some of the world’s iconic locations.

All Burger King 3X3 National Tour events are endorsed by FIBA. By joining FIBA 3X3 Planet, you’ll be able to compare your skills with your friends, and even with professionals on the international circuit. The more events you play, the more ranking points you’ll get. You may even catch the eye of national selectors as they look to identify talent for New Zealand representative 3X3 sides (for the Men’s U18 and Open Men’s sides).

Or, you can enter for fun with your mates – who’ll come out top in the battle of your neighbourhood?

There’ll be loads of prizes up for grabs.

You will need to:

• Register your team to play
• Register each player on FIBA 3X3 Planet

Age Groups

U14, 16, 18 and Open. Men’s and Women’s grades only. As the competition is based on FIBA rules, there are no mixed grades.

Rain

Obviously we are holding these events outside (except for Dunedin) and that presents us with the possibility of Rain. In all cases BBNZ will attempt to go ahead with the event.
