The line our founders wrote before the first tip-off in 2023 — and the standard ever since. SLR 2026 is Korea's premier student-run 3x3 basketball tournament: 30 teams, 150+ athletes, a celebrity all-star game, and our first-ever YouTube live broadcast — international & Korean high schools on one court. Casual vibe, professional management.
Sports League Redefined (SLR) is a student-led sports organization founded in 2022. We plan, market, design, fund, and run professional-grade tournaments outside traditional school leagues — giving international and Korean high school students a stage that KAIAC and KISAC never could.
First 3x3 tournament in Dongdaemun. 40 players, 10 teams, 7 schools. A project becomes a league.
15 teams, 60 players at Samsung Little Thunders — GOD EAT, OATSIDE & Goal Studio join the game.
Biggest yet — 20 teams, 100+ players at Seocho Gymnasium, with 전태풍, Mighty Mouth, Shorry & DJ Ian Fever in the building.
30 teams, 150+ players. Celebrity all-star game, first YouTube live, pro camera crew — and a bigger give-back than ever.
Official 3x3 rules — 10-minute games or first to 21. Group stage into knockout bracket into one champion. Game is game: play hard, no arguing with officials.
Celebrity all-star game, food trucks, live DJ, 3-point contest, dunk contest and skills challenge. It's a festival with a scoreboard.
Proceeds support adaptive basketball teams and under-resourced youth sports programs across Korea. Play hard, give back.
Live standings and the full bracket go live here on game day. Until then — study the 2025 results. Someone has to dethrone them.
