The Hustle League

The Season
📅 Tips off Jul 1 · 44-game regular season through Aug 13, 2026

Modeled on the WNBA. 8 teams, two divisions, and 4 games every single day — everyone plays daily. A 44-game regular season, then the playoffs, then the Finals. Every game has a winner, a loser, and a score. Tip-off is Wednesday, July 1, 2026; the 44-game regular season runs one game-day at a time through August 13, then the playoffs and the Finals.

How a game is played

Every game is a 24-hour day, split into four quarters of six hours each, with a halftime at the 12-hour mark. Two teams pair off head-to-head and the score runs live all day: every hit and every dollar of revenue a team earns adds to its total. After 24 hours the final buzzer sounds — higher score takes the W.

Q1 · 12a–6aQ2 · 6a–12p⏱ HALFTIME 12pQ3 · 12p–6pQ4 · 6p–12a

Game clock runs on Central time (Austin HQ); Ko Samui is exactly 12 hours ahead, so the East plays the same day a half-turn of the globe later. Score = hits + revenue — dollars weighted so money carries; the exact weighting gets set when we connect the metrics.

The box score

Every game produces a box score by quarter. This is the shape — real numbers fill in once we tip off July 1.

The front office

Every team has a manager. Tim Costello and Melissa Morman run two of the Austin teams; Robby Dolgin takes Sandalwood and appoints two managers for the other Thailand teams (maybe Jessica, maybe his friend headed to Anthropic, maybe someone else). One Austin seat is still open.
