Two basketball competitions will unfurl next month with Basketball Association of Northern Mariana Islands and Emon Lodge No. 179 hosting tournaments for men\u2019s open division.<\/p>\n
BANMI will hold the 2015 Annual Liberation Day Tournament from July 2 to 5 at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium, while Emon Lodge No. 179 will kick off the IT&E-sponsored basketball league late next month with the venue yet to be determined.<\/p>\n
Tournament director Elias Rangamar said the Liberation Day caging is open to the first six teams that will register and meet the competition requirements. The four-day contest will also feature a selection from Guam\u2019s Andersen Bombers.<\/p>\n
Registration fee is $200 and payment deadline is on June 30. A managers meeting is set for June 26 at 5pm at the conference room of the Ada gym.<\/p>\n

For the Emon Lodge caging, league coordinator Bong Malasarte said four teams have already signified their intention to join the competition. Malasarte added they will accommodate a minimum of eight squads and maximum of 10.<\/p>\n
The league coordinator along with other Emon Lodge No. 179 officials earlier received the $1,500 donation from sponsor IT&E.<\/p>\n
Game schedules, ground rules, and other details of the league will be discussed in a series of meetings later this month.<\/p>\n
