We have finished adjusting all of our basketball competitions with sub-grades now, so will be able to get a few more Saturday draws out for you all soon

All weekend basketball draws and information can be found by clicking here – this page is updated each week.

 

Congratulation to the Atami Men’s Premier Team who came back from 22 points down against Gators to win the Hoben Trophy (top team from the initial part of the season)

It’s been a very big task, but our BU15 and BU17 sub-grades are now set for the remainder of the season. The new pool details are below this if you are interested (likely the teams involved in these competitions only!)

Notes with this draw:

  • No Cowles this Upcoming Weekend – Of the three National tournaments that were initially scheduled to be hosted at Cowles in 2020, this is the only weekend where one is still on as initially planned. A big thank you to Kaiapoi and St. Bede’s for letting us use their gyms on Saturday (with every SBC having a club day at their school too!), and to Middleton Grange for access on Sunday, which will accommodate all of the games we would have played at Cowles normally
  • Sunday 9 August Games at Middleton Grange (not Cowles) – The draw we sent out near the start of the season has the same game-time, match-ups and duty for each team, just the location of the games is now at Middleton instead of Cowles (so please make sure all of your players know of this location change)
  • Draws in Advance – we may be able to get these draws out for the next three-four weeks for Saturdays (only the MU23 matchups are not set until after the games on August 8, which is something we can probably build around). Sunday draws may not be possible to do more than a week ahead, until the MD1 and WU18 grades split
  • Scorebench Issues – Our Floor Controllers check before each game that the team on scorebench duty understands their responsibilities. If your game does have issues, the referees or team coach/manager can ask the Floor Controller for your venue to come over and provide more instruction for the scorebench personnel

BU17 Final Pools

Similar to the MU20 competition, we haven’t had to make many changes, when taking into account feedback from teams, and the results from all games. The structure of the competition format will not be changed from what was advised (but have moved two teams between the A and Mid-grades):

BU15 Final Pools

The BU15 Sub Grades are having their format changed a bit – as with 32 teams, four sub-grades will fit the teams here far better than three. The quick version of this is below (this was a very complex solution to come up with, and we’re confident this is the best plan by a considerable margin!):
