Narrative

Unlike many blockchain gaming companies that have yet to start the work required to build a great game, we've been developing RTC for over two years, with a focus on providing a superior gameplay experience.

Follow our social media and sign up for email updates to get news on our next steps, including our NFT drops, Early Access program, and full game launch.

In recent years, rumors of an exclusive underground basketball tournament have spread amongst die-hard members of the basketball community. Despite the efforts of the league's mysterious founding members, specifics of the league have begun to emerge, including details of cut-throat tournaments and operations funded by illegal gambling.

One fan, fed up with the Organization of International Basketball, has made it his mission to uncover information about the secretive RTC League. So far, he has learned that each season is hosted in a unique geography featuring exotic, one-of-a-kind courts, and fans are allowed by invitation only.

For most of the players, the RTC League represents a last chance to make a living playing the sport. But with no contracts or salaries offered to these talented men and women, the path won't be easy. It's a game of high stakes and high rewards.

A league where everyone has a story. A world where everyone has an agenda.

FAQ

Run The Court is over two years into development. Unlike other projects that promise they’ll build a game someday (with little more than a vague roadmap to accompany the promise), our game is in the late stages of development and will launch in a matter of months. Follow us on Twitter to stay updated.
In short? Gameplay. In a space dominated by trading card and turn-based strategy games that don’t capture the essence of sports and competition, RTC is different: it’s a real-time, synchronous, multiplayer basketball game. You control the players in live contests, just like in your favorite console sports games, and your skills determine the outcome.
Culture and community matter to us. It's obvious that some companies working in the basketball space don't know the sport or the culture of basketball. That’s not us. Everything that’s featured in our game, from the music to the sneakers, is a reflection of who we are. We make games to serve our community, and it's a community we're a part of.
In our games, skills are rewarded, not deep pockets. The better you get at our games, the more likely you’ll be to take ownership of assets that matter to you and others in our community. Equip them in the game or sell them in the marketplace - the choice is yours. Because we don't believe the time and money you spend in games should go unrewarded.
Then you don't have to! RTC is unique because it offers participation paths for all gamer types: those who don't like to spend, those who enjoy a progression-focused Season Pass experience, and those who want to Play-and-Earn. Choose the path that works for you and play ball the way you want.
Because we love basketball. We played growing up, we coach today, and we're huge fans. Basketball shaped us and continues to play a prominent role in our lives. With RTC, we want to share our vision and hard work with the community we know.
