How NBA Territory Conquest Works

Every NBA team starts with territory based on a Voronoi diagram from their location - creating natural boundaries where each point on the map belongs to the nearest team. Win a game, claim your opponent's entire empire. Lose, and watch your territory disappear. It's beautifully simple and brutally unforgiving.

Territory Rules

  • Each team starts with territory nearest their (Voronoi diagram)
  • Win = you take ALL of the loser's current territory
  • Lose = you lose everything (even if you had 40 territories)
  • Territory accumulates all season - no resets until next year
