The SWITCH OPEN consists of two weeks of remote group play that will determine the two teams from each group that advance to the round of 16 in-person bracket play at the NBA 2K League Studio in Indianapolis. The 32 teams are divided into two conferences – East and West. Each conference is then divided into four groups with four teams per group (3 NBA 2K League teams, 1 Amateur Team). The two teams in each group with the best series records will advance to the round-of-16.
