Posted on May 30 2006
The 2006 Restaurant Basketball League has already penciled a June 28 start for its competition and coordinator Jojo Molar has given all teams only until tomorrow, June 1, to submit their final rosters.
In an organizational meeting held yesterday afternoon at Capricciosa Restaurant, Molar said teams that signed up for this year’s league need to have their lineups approved first by the organizing committee before their players even see a second of playing time in the Midnight League.
Teams may fax their lineups to Capricciosa Restaurant at 233-8195 care of Jojo Molar.
Molar also disclosed during the meeting that the $600 entrance fee must be submitted on or before June 15 at 3pm, which is also the next scheduled organizational meeting for the cage league.
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. Molar is requesting the three establishments to advise him about their intentions as soon as possible.
The restaurant cage league will be played beginning at 10:30pm and Molar said the organizing committee may change the original Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday schedule of the competition, as some teams have requested a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday sked.
The Midnight League 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.
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.
For more information about the Midnight League, call Molar at 233-9193 or 233-9194 or his co-coordinator Jake Villanueva at 233-1908/233-6961.
