The newly reorganized Northern Marianas International Basketball League is gearing up for their upcoming 3×3 Basketball Tournament that is expected to be the continuation of the Battle of the NORF 3-on-3 basketball tournament that concluded in April.
According to Clint Albert, the tournament organizer and NMIBL board member, the plan is to launch the tournament for June 5 and 6 at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium with a target of 16 teams for the men’s open division, four teams for the women’s open, and four teams each for 16U girls and 16U boys division.
Albert said this week is the deadline for all lineup submissions so interested teams should submit those as soon as possible.
The organizer said that following the Battle of the NORF, NMIBL is getting a lot of interest and many have already signed up.
“We have about 70% for the open age men’s and half way full for the other brackets, but, it’s still first come first serve in terms of who submits all requirements,” he said.
According to the NMIBL website, one of the requirements is a $65 entrance fee. Slots will not be reserved unless the fee is paid.
Each team will have a guaranteed three games each and top teams will go to the playoffs and finals.
