The organizational meeting for the 3rd Annual Shirley’s Coffee Shop Invitational Basketball League set for yesterday has been reset to tomorrow, Sept. 7, 6:30pm at the Shirley’s Coffee Shop in Garapan.<\/p>\n
League coordinator Boy Lingcaso said he was forced to postpone Monday’s meeting because majority of participating teams were not able to confirm their attendance.<\/p>\n
Lingcaso said so far 12 teams have already confirmed their participation in the caging. The list includes inaugural champion Micronesian Brokers, Inc., Mobil, PSS\/McGraw-Hill, Hyatt Regency Saipan, Aqua Resort Club, Fiesta Resort & Spa, Pacific Trading, Wushin, Grillin’, DFS, GPPC, and host Shirley’s.<\/p>\n
Each team is allowed to recruit only five players outside their companies.<\/p>\n
Organizers are planning to hold games in the Shirley’s caging every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.<\/p>\n
Lingcaso said teams rosters and if possible the $500 entrance fee for the competition should be submitted at the meeting.<\/p>\n
Last year, 10 teams joined the second edition of the Shirley’s caging with Pacific Islands Club winning over Aqua Resort Club in the best-of-three title series. In 2009, MBI swept Advance in the best-of-three finals,<\/p>\n
