Hey everyone! I've watched a few videos to try to figure out how this thing is working but all the videos are shilling for the NBA and talking about viewership during the Football season and how "players dont care about the regular season enough. I understand the winners get money, but what about the losers? The Grizzlies just got eliminated, do they now play less games this season? Will the winner of this thing have to play more games this season? Do those wins end up on the regular season standing table? Is it just me or does no one care about this thing except the marketing people?

Based on my understanding this is the following:

Stage 1:

There are 6 brackets and the winners of each of the 6 brackets and 2 wild card teams proceed to the next round.

All matches are part of the regular season schedule.

Stage 2:

Now there are 8 teams and this is a single elimination game. You lose once and you are eliminated from the tournament.

(the other 22 teams will play regular games while the 8 teams play the elimination matches).

The important thing is that only the 2 finalist play an extra game, the rest of the games are part of the schedule.
