Leagues

A new column has been added to the right of the fixtures page on the SLBA website. It is headed "Scoresheet" and it will indicate if the scoresheet has been received after the game has been played. As you will see there are several outstanding scoresheets that have not been received, and all Clubs are reminded that they should be posted to the Results Officer within 10 days of the game being played, as per SLBA rules. If the winning team could total up the number of points scored by each player in the game and either write then on the back of the score sheet or on a separate sheet of paper then this would save a lot of time.

UNPLAYED GAMES

As we all can see from the fixtures lists and league tables several teams are behind the game schedule.

If we have uncompleted games at the end of the season then can I remind everyone of regulation 5.7. Any team losing a game or games by default may forfeit the possibility of winning a league. & 16.3. If a team forfeits one or more games the entry of the Club or team into the league the following season would require an extra £50.00 surety.

If we have unplayed games at the end of the season in both leagues then we will look at the league structure to reduce the number of games so that all games get played.

Table Officials Courses

basketballscotland are fully committed to develop and improve the current standard of table officials in Scotland. With effect from 1^st January 2009, in the Senior Men’s and Senior Women’s National Leagues and Cups the home clubs must provide a minimum of one Level 2 Table Official on each game. Article 16.5.1 of the National Leagues and Cups regulations has been updated to reflect this, and to help clubs comply with this basketballscotland will be organising a series of Level 2 Table Officials courses throughout the country.

Candidates must be an active, existing Level 1 qualified table official and anyone wishing to do this course must email officials@basketball-scotland.com

Funding has been secured from FIBA Europe for this Table Officials project, and we are able to reduce the cost of this course to £10.00 per candidate for this current season. All Senior Men’s, Senior Women’s and Junior First Division Men’s National League clubs are asked to co-operate with the new regulations and provide suitable candidates for the course.
