The Northern Mariana Islands Basketball Federation is hosting a meeting for their 2024 NMIBF Inter-Government/Business Basketball League tomorrow, Tuesday, Oct. 1 for those interested in joining.

The meeting is at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium at 5pm.

Last year, the NMIBF hosted the return of the league sponsored by R&J Wine and Liquor. The champion team was the Public School System after it Priority Care in the finals.

The league ran from September 2023 to November 2023.

The teams that signed up for the league last year were PSS, Docomo Pacific, Marpac, CUC, Priority Care, Office of the Governor, Feds, CPA, CHCC, and Joeten.

Last year, the format and rules for the tournament were as follows: It’s a round robin for the regular season. The Top 6 teams will advance to the double-elimination rounds for the playoffs, semifinals, and finals.

Each roster was capped at 18, but only 15 players should be active per game; players must be working for the company for more than two months; and the company must provide employment verification or rosters signed by the human resources department.

Specific details and dates of those tournaments will be posted in the future.
