March Mania is a TWI-based basketball tournament funded by Khaazi Murminwa, a Chuuṣoostee entrepreneur who grew up in the Alteran Republics. In 2015, Murminwa started the Remodin Basketball League in his home country, but has since been inspired by the Western Isles Cup Tournament to launch March Mania starting this year.

Every nation must submit a roster of at least 10-12 players, including weight/height, who the starters are, the avg. minutes each player gets*, what position they play(PG, SG, SF, PF, C or 1-5), as well a head & assistant coach in this thread. They are to have three realistic pros, and three realistic cons. Character traits of said players are also encouraged as well. Example:
