It’s time to kick-off the 2010 season!  We have a total of 16 teams for the upcoming season.  We’ll be welcoming three new teams to the league, the Georgia Avenue Church of Christ, Brentwood, and College.  Who’s Next will be returning to the league after a year off as well.  Welcome everyone!  

The season starts on Tuesday January 5, 2010.  Each team plays nine regular season games.  Justin Collins will serve as my co-commissioner this year.   

Below you’ll find some important details: 

Rosters:   Final rosters are due no later than January 14, 2010. 

Waivers:  Must be filled out completely by January 5, 2010.  Players won’t be allowed to play without first signing this form.

Play-offs:  The top twelve teams will advance to the play-offs.  When ties in the final regular season standings occur the following steps will be used to break these ties.

•  
  • Head-to-head competition
  • Record against common opponents
  • Strength of schedule

If these steps do not break the tie than a coin toss will be used by the league commissioner

Ministry Aspect of our League: Each game begins with a prayer and on occasion, people in the league will be given an opportunity to share what God is doing in their lives with the players and spectators.  These talks will occur between games and will last 5-10 minutes.  Please gather on the bleachers promptly following the end of the game preceding the presentation. 

Jerseys:  For those teams who placed an order for a jersey through the league, the cost will be $9.00 each. Please include the amount for the jersyes when submitting payment for your team dues.  We’ll have the jerseys ready before the first games on January 5^th. 

Rules:  Our league plays by the NCAA men’s basketball rules.  

Please let me know if you have any questions and send all correspondence to me at ibcmensbasketball@gmail.com.   

Thanks everyone.  I’m looking forward to the 2010 season!
