(The International World Basketball League "IWBL")

Inner City Street Basketball makes its way to the world media via UATV a new U.S. urban network and the European Satellite "Hot Bird". IWBL, 3 on 3 Professional Basketball looks like street basketball because it comes from the streets of urban cities in the United Streets. Nothing fancy, just the fast new entertaining IWBL basketball game. You will find 3 on 3 basketball wherever theres a vacant street, vacant lot, a park or any open space were people can play the game.

The IWBL is the first international basketball league where teams represent the regions of the world. The United States is no longer the focal point for participation. (See list of teams www.iwbl.org) The new IWBL 3 on 3 basketball game with its new rules is exciting and any one can own an IWBL franchise. The league will provide players from the tens of thousands committed urban basketball players looking for a chance to play for the IWBL.

Players were recruited from the streets of the United States. These players have played for great high school teams, colleges and semi pro teams around the world. You may ask yourself, What ever happen to a talented player?" You will see a lot of these players on IWBL teams.

During the fourth season the IWBL player will be joined by player from all over the world. IWBL is truly an international basketball league.

The IWBL 3 on 3 Professional Basketball is played on a modified full court with two eighteen minute halves and two referees. The game has a three-point line, a five-point line called the "I Zone", and no foul out rule. The no foul out rule means that after the 5th foul on a player, the next foul he gets will result in 2 shots plus the team gets the ball out of bounds. There are two time outs each half per team. Three is a second lane violation. With the IWBL the center no longer dominates the game; the five point shot becomes the determining factor.

The games also feature two very colorful presenters, namely Toney Smith and Kirk Sinclair, being both witty and with great on air rapport and more importantly they know" the IWBL 3 on 3 games.

The IWBL transmission on the European satellite "Hot Bird" has a downlink pattern that covers mainland Europe, Eastern Europe, with limited coverage of Russia and North Africa that will enable viewers to see the IWBL games from the United States for the first time.

The International World Basketball League (IWBL) Games will be aired over a thirteen-week period including playoff and finals

The European transmissions services are provided to the IWBL by Uplink Facilities Organisation in the UK and their partners.
