THE Brunei Basketball Association (BBA) Inter-District Basketball Tournament was officially opened last night at the BBA Basketball Court in Batu Bersurat, by YB Ong Tiong Oh, a Legislative Council member.
The tournament, part of BBA’s preparation for the Borneo Intercity Cup and FIBA Basketball World Cup qualifier, will run until February 13.
In addition to the Men’s category, the tournament will also include the Ladies and Veteran categories.
The participating teams are Brunei-Muara ‘A’, Brunei-Muara ‘B’, Tutong, Belait A-KB, Belait B-Seria and Temburong.
Each district is required to field at least five players below the age of 23 for teams in the men’s category, to develop young talents in Brunei.
The revised format of including young players will not only provide exposure to young players, but also help balance talents between teams, creating a more competitive tournament.
