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. <\/p>\n
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\u2019s open division, four teams for the women\u2019s open, and four teams each for 16U girls and 16U boys division.<\/p>\n
Albert said this week is the deadline for all lineup submissions so interested teams should submit those as soon as possible. <\/p>\n
The organizer said that following the Battle of the NORF, NMIBL is getting a lot of interest and many have already signed up. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe have about 70% for the open age men\u2019s and half way full for the other brackets, but, it\u2019s still first come first serve in terms of who submits all requirements,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
According to the NMIBL website, one of the requirements is a $65 entrance fee. Slots will not be reserved unless the fee is paid. <\/p>\n
Each team will have a guaranteed three games each and top teams will go to the playoffs and finals. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
