ELECTRONIC SCORING                   ABA has 4 laptops to get organised. Managers/parents and referees are going to need to be educated in their use so they will be gradually introduced with the help of some of those kind volunteers who have knowledge in this area.

Managers will need to arrive a good 10 minutes before start time, as with this system each player has to be logged in for the game. Penalty is the same – a team that causes a game to start late incurs a 2 point penalty per minute or part thereof.

Competition Manager                   Darren James

 

FACEBOOK                                          You may advertise uniform, basketball footwear. No comeback on this Association.
