Posted on May 29 2006
The 2006 Restaurant Basketball League will have an organizational meeting at 3pm today at Capricciosa Restaurant in Garapan.
League coordinator Jojo Molar said the agenda for the meeting will revolve around the lineup of teams, entrance fee, jersey colors, and the kick-off date.
Molar said currently seven teams have signed up for the Midnight League led by defending champion Capricciosa. The other six teams are Country House, Naked Fish, Shirley’s Coffee Shop, Round Two, LSG Sky Chef, and Abyss.
Three more teams are still undecided in joining the competition and they are league pioneer Keeraku Restaurant, McDonald’s, and Herman’s Bakery.
The restaurant cage league will be played on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday nights beginning at 10:30pm.
The regular season would feature a single round-robin format. Throughout the regular season, best player awards will be presented to the top performer of the winning teams and like its inaugural season, 3-point shootouts will be held during halftime.
Organizers also reminded teams that only employees of businesses joining the resto league are allowed to suit up for their respective teams.
Teams, however, are allowed to recruit an “import” provided the player is not currently or has been a member of the CNMI National Basketball Team.
The 2006 Inter-Restaurant Basketball League is once again being sponsored by Triple J Five Star Wholesale and interested teams must fork over a $600 entrance fee to participate.
