Feel the vibe as Red Bull Half Court returns to the Philippines for brand-new season with high-stakes action. This 3-on-3 streetball tournament is the ultimate battlefield for rising local talent to prove their skills and get a chance to represent the country at the Red Bull Half Court World Final in UAE this coming November.
This event is in partnership with FILA and Spalding. Red Bull Half Court will hold qualifier rounds across five continents over 20 participating countries that includes South Africa, Norway and Kosovo as rookies.
"Year after year, Red Bull Half Court continues to push the game forward. Seeing the sport grow in new countries and watching these athletes bring their best is truly special," said Chris 'Lethal Shooter' Matthews, Legendary NBA Shooting Coach. "I can't wait to see who makes it to the World Final in the UAE."
Differentiating itself from traditional basketball, Red Bull Half Court only take up half the court, and with teams of 3 players. Rules follow FIBA and are played with regulation time of 10 minutes and a maximum of 21 points. Winners of each match are determined by who reaches the highest score within the regulation time or who reaches the maximum number of points first.
Another twist is that the teams who accumulate the most scoring points across all games will receive the "Own the Court" bonus that will help them advance to the next stage. Making the game faster and more intense, 3-point shots can be made from two special circles located behind the arc.
Red Bull Half Court partners with 7-Eleven for its 2025 season in the country, with a new 2-day competition structure for qualifier rounds. Regional qualifiers will take place in Davao on August 30 and 31, Cebu of September 13 and 14, and Manila on September 27 and 28. Elimination rounds are set to take place on the first day, while the qualifier showdown will happen on the second day. Winning teams from each regional qualifier will advance to the Red Bull Half Court National Final in Manila on October 18. Each team, along with select wildcard teams will face off for a chance to represent the Philippines at the Red Bull Half Court Final in UAE.
