A few weeks ago, the exciting Basketball league being hosted by the Nevis Amateur Basketball Association (NABA), was suspended indefinitely due to protests made by the two losing teams in the last round of playoff games.
President of NABA, Wanda Parry, revealed on Monday that the Basketball commission met and duly considered the protests by the teams and ruled as follows:
‘Protest one: Submitted by the Dynamics Sports club. A 24 second clock violation by the CG Rebels, resulted in a two points conversion and the team eventually won the game by four points. Therefore, the request for that game to be replayed.
Ruling: It is the view of the commission that even if the referee corrected the correctable error, CG Rebels would have won the game by two points (regardless). Therefore the game standings between the two teams at 1 all, should remain. The final game must be played to determine who moves on to the next round. In the event that the scores were tied, it would have resulted in OVERTIME and not a REPLAY.
Protest two: Submitted by the CG Massives team: Objecting to an official who threatened the team members days before and prior to officiating in a match which they subsequently lost, is requesting that the match be replayed and the official be removed from their games.
Ruling: It is granted that the official will be removed from the games involving CG Massives. However, the game will not be replayed because the team had ample time to object to the official, prior to their game.
In conclusion, the tournament should continue to determine the finalists, then the eventual winners.’
In light of the above report, Miss Parry has indicated that the tournament will continue tonight-Tuesday 29th May, when Ole Skool will engage CG Massives.
