About the IBL
Two unique features distinguish the IBL from other professional basketball leagues:
1. An entertaining game. By allowing only one timeout per quarter, and reducing the time between plays with an immediate inbounds, IBL games are always fast and entertaining. IBL teams average 127 points per contest; just as important-games last only two hours.
2. Extremely low travel costs. The IBL promises a maximum of one trip per season requiring air travel.
This 'one flight guarantee' that teams enjoy promotes financial health and longevity for IBL teams. In fact, all 17 teams completed the first IBL season (the 2005 season); as well, all 24 teams completed the 2006 season. The IBL is now heading into the third year of play with tip-off in mid March 2007.
