Bison T-REX Competition Portable Basketball Hoop System BA898G

The Bison T-REX Competition Portable Basketball System (BA898G) is purpose-built for facilities that need full competition specifications, a regulation 72" tempered glass backboard, FIBA certification, and NCAA/NFHS compliance at a lower price point

Full Competition Specs. Smarter Price Point.

The T-REX Competition delivers the same 72" x 42" tempered glass backboard and full FIBA/NCAA/NFHS certification as the higher-end Americana and International models without the premium price tag. For facilities that need multiple systems on the floor simultaneously including tournament courts, multi-court gyms, and practice facilities, the Competition makes it possible to spec every court at a legitimate competition level without blowing the budget on a single unit.

Fixed Height. Built for Dedicated Competition Courts.

Unlike the adjustable T-REX Sport, Americana, and International models, the T-REX Competition is a fixed height system set at regulation 10 ft. This is not a limitation. It is a deliberate engineering choice that makes it the right system for dedicated competition courts where the rim height never changes. No adjustment mechanism means fewer moving parts, less maintenance, and a cleaner, more stable structure for serious competition play.

FIBA Certified. NCAA Ready. NFHS Compliant.

Despite sitting at a more accessible price point, the T-REX Competition carries the same certifications as Bison's most elite portables:

• FIBA Approved meets international competition standards
• NCAA Compliant meets all college basketball equipment requirements
• NFHS Compliant meets all high school basketball equipment requirements

For tournament directors, athletic directors, and facilities managers, this means every court outfitted with the T-REX Competition is officially certified for sanctioned play at every level of American basketball.

Indoor and Outdoor Rated

Unlike the Recreational Indoor model, the T-REX Competition is rated for both indoor and outdoor use, giving facilities the flexibility to deploy it on interior hardwood courts or exterior concrete surfaces depending on programming needs.

The Same T-REX Platform You Trust

The Competition carries all the core T-REX engineering that facilities managers rely on:

• Industry-leading extension spring counterbalance technology makes raising, lowering, and storage fast, safe, and effortless for any staff member
• Zero-maintenance, self-lubricating bearings on all pivot points with chrome-plated steel pivot axles means no grease, no service calls, and no downtime
• Floor-friendly 8" x 2" wide casters allow easy repositioning and transport by a single staff member
• Hidden weight ballast in a covered containment cell creates a clean, professional appearance for competition environments
• Narrow-profile uprights reduce visual interference for fans and media behind the baseline
• Rolls through any standard doorway of 84" or wider for seamless storage between events
• Available in 16 team colors with optional custom graphics on base and riser pads

Warranty

All Bison products are warranted against manufacturing defects at the time of delivery. In addition, most products are covered by warranty periods stated in the description of the product. Where listed as “limited”, warranties cover damage or failure that occurs during the course of “normal or intended use” of the warranted product. Normal or intended use is described as activity that is necessary for the participation in the sport for which the equipment is designed.

Bison Limited Warranties do not cover any damage or failure that is the direct or indirect result of any use that is not deemed in the sole discretion of Bison to be “normal and intended use”. When warranties are stated as “unconditional” or “unconditional replacement”, the above stated limitations do not normally apply except in cases where damage was obviously the result of a malicious act of vandalism.

Where no specific length or type of warranty is listed in the catalog, the product is warranted to be free from manufacturer’s defects and for the intended purpose at the time of shipment. Whether or not stated as such, all Bison warranties allow Bison to repair or replace warranted products at Bison’s sole option. Normal deterioration of products due to weather, wear and tear, or other causes that do not affect functional use are not covered by Bison warranties, regardless of type of stated warranty.

All warranties are valid only when product is used in the intended application as outlined in Bison’s printed literature, when installed according to Bison’s instructions and when matched with compatible components as described in Bison’s literature. Under no circumstances will Bison Residential Basketball Equipment be warranted for commercial or institutional use.

Due to the abusive nature of pay-to-play facilities, unless specifically agreed to in writing, Bison products carry no warranty except for obvious manufacturing defects when used in a facility where players pay an individual or group fee to use Bison equipment.

Bison will pay ground freight only to repair or replace defective merchandise. Unless otherwise stated, Bison will not assume any liability for labor costs incurred for removal or replacement of product replaced or repaired under warranty.
