Mismatches
Just like real life, height can be impactful on what kinds of matchups your players will perform best in.
When resolving Skills or Reactions, take note of the Ball Handler’s height and the height of the Defender Guarding them. If they are different, you may have a Mismatch! Check the scenarios below for Mismatches.
When calculating the bonus (X) that you receive in the Mismatch
| Action | Opponent is | Small | Average | Tall |
| Dribble | Taller | – | +1 | +3 |
| Drive | Smaller | +2 | +1 | – |
| Block | Smaller | +2 | +1 | – |
| Rebound | Smaller | +2 | +1 | – |
Players who are the same height do not have Mismatches and receive no bonsues.
Statuses

There are 6 Statuses; 3 Positive and 3 Negative. Players maintain statuses until a coach calls a Timeout or they receive a new status that cancels it out (a Positive and a Negative). A Player can have multiple statuses
