One of Unrivaled's key attractions, apart from the 3x3 competition, is the one-on-one tournament designed to identify the best player of the 30 participating in the league. The league's official website describes the tournament as "Crowning the One."
"This is the definition of what it means to be Unrivaled in basketball. 30 players competing for a $350K prize pool. We’re about to Crown The One," the website said.

On Wednesday, the one-on-one brackets for the tournament were released. Key matchups include Kate Martin facing off against Marina Mabrey, a former teammate of Angel Reese.
Martin had a pretty good run with the Las Vegas Aces in her rookie season but was mostly confined to the bench and saw limited action. On the other hand, Mabrey is a veteran. This matchup will represent the new generation versus the old, making it an interesting contest.
Another exciting matchup is Napheesa Collier vs. Katie Lou Samuelson. Collier had an incredible run with the Minnesota Lynx last season, averaging 20.4 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. She led the Lynx to the WNBA Finals, where they lost to Breanna Stewart's New York Liberty.
Another matchup to look forward to is Stewart against Aaliyah Edwards, another battle between generations.
Exploring the rules and regulations for Unrivaled's 1-v-1 tournament
Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier's idea to develop a new women's basketball league seems to have paid off. The 3x3 league is a hit among basketball fans worldwide and the one-on-one tournament could have a similar impact.
The cumulative prize pool for the one-on-one tournament is $350,000. The winner will receive $200,000, the runner-up will get a reward of $50,000 and the semi-finalists will each be awarded $25,000.
Moreover, an additional $10,000 will be awarded to the teammates of the one-on-one tournament's winner. Fans played a role in voting and seeding the players' bracket into four pods.
