Five teams have so far confirmed to join the maiden season of the Philippine Contract Workers Association Basketball League during a meeting last Tuesday with organizers.<\/p>\n
PHILCOWA sports coordinator Pando Muleta said there are five more slots left before they proceed with the opening ceremonies on Sept. 28.<\/p>\n
Muleta said they have decided to change the original plan of separating the tournament into two divisions and make it into just an open division format.<\/p>\n
He said they are skipping the 35-and-above division.<\/p>\n
The venue will be at the CIC Centre basketball court at the back of CIC building along Beach Road.<\/p>\n
During the opening ceremonies, awards will be given out, including the Best in Uniform and Best in Muse, who must be 18-25 years old to qualify.<\/p>\n
Muleta said the deadline for submission of entries would be on Sept. 21.<\/p>\n
Each team will have a maximum of 13 players with an entry fee of $500 for each team.<\/p>\n
Muleta said the entry fee could be paid in full or a 50 percent down payment but a team must make sure to pay the 50 percent balance after its first two games or before it could be able to play in its third game.<\/p>\n
Another meeting will be held next Tuesday, Sept. 9, to finalize the tournament format and league rules, as well as prizes, trophies and uniforms.<\/p>\n
Interested teams are invited to attend the meeting. For more details, contact Pando Muleta at 285-9783.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
