Why are there 2 sturt reserves teams in the mens again?
Don't see the point of adding another mediocre team to the comp, the only teams they will beat are Centrals & Mavs and maybe one other if they are lucky.

Just when you think bsa couldn't do anything more stupid they tell you to hold their beer. I read that explanation several times and still don't get it.

it still is Hoops SA. Don't forget it.

No communication to members. No explanation with the upload. A mess of a Website just got messier. The language used is Primary School standard.

The current BSA admin has to be the worst in history.

Whilst I agree with overall sentiment, BSA did distribute an overview of the summer season to clubs which included the ML and DL explanation.
Maybe direct the communication gripe to your club first

If BSA want my money for membership they can do some direct communication. They have a site where every parent has to go for information. How hard is it to include details on that. A Calendar maybe? A process for how the DL (terrible Acronym btw) works. By-Laws and Rules.

They are the competition managers or they are not. Handballing responsibility to others seems to be how they operate these days.

No disagreement from me with the sentiment about BSA communication, calendar etc.
My point is that your club did not communicate to its members the information they received from BSA explaining the changes, ours did

Didn't say my Club didn't, but it's still a handball. And details change and have changed.

It's not just a name change. Which you would understand if they posted the details of all the changes on their Website.

#801 you have no idea. comp committee lol

U/21s will be a bigger waste of time than the old Youth league.
All the good players will be in seniors and the best are already at college.
Will be a half arsed comp full of kids more interested in partying than playing.

"Top two grades are called metro 1 & 2 and then you have district 1 & 2 which in my view sounds better than div3 and div4."

And I suppose you're one of those people that thinks everyone should get a participation medal. Are you in favour of it just so your kids can say they play district div1 instead of what they actually are, a division 3 player?

857 no one has any idea!
Just BSA making a bigger mess so they stay employed trying to clean it up.
Corrupt poorly run fraud on every level, especially High Performance.
Basketball Australia needs to come in and seize control, it's in total disarray.

882 completely agree, need independent proper basketball people running basketball in SA, not the rabbits we've got at the moment.
It’s the only way you will get rid of the school, club, surname bias that is rife through the whole system, especially BSA HP.

Just happened to catch one of the u23 games tonight. Players that played div 1 last year have now ended up with div 5 players from last season and ended with gargantuan blowouts...how is this healthy for development? Just send them to seniors. U23 is pointless with U21 in existence

Anyone know why there was a decision to introduce an U21 comp for the men but not women?
Seems bizarre to me or is it just about player numbers

I look at it differently. Get rid of U21s and let kids settle at the appropriate level. What is even more bizarre is being able to enter two Reserves teams.

They should've just kept it how it was two season ago

How is Eastern allowed a NBL1 team when they don't have a Reserve Women's team?

Sorry Woodville not Eastern

Why were there two byes in U21 ML 1?

As for no Reserves team - I'm guessing Woodville women are too strong and waiting for NBL 1 season

#733 idiot.

Why is Woodville allowed a Women's NBL1 team when it doesn't also have a Reserves Team. This has always been a requirement.

#744. I think you can't appreciate sarcasm

As for North BSA pulled the wrong team out of a competition meaning North’s team had no where to play. As for Reserves seems some teams don’t have full lists reflected on stats. Add up the points and you’ll see that

What is going on in U21s? Two byes with 2 available teams? Where are north and Eastern teams?

BSA removed North team from draw by mistake. Will be reinstated next week

Oops. Seriously. Every day they just get worse. What does this Competition Manager have to do, or not do, to get fired?

Does that mean North getting a BYE creates an uneven BYE count, putting the whole comp back to BSA's terrible ratio for final Ladder positions. You'd certainly hope this little oops mistake doesn't cost a team a Grand Final or Competition Win.

It is important. The sharing of tv revenue between clubs is based on overall rankings - a bit like how F1 works

Another tournament?!?

If it means nothing why do every single player, coach, parent, club take it so seriously? Why do the coaches run players into the ground, abuse them for every loss or poor performance? Why do parents abuse children refereeing because little johnny got the ball stolen from him and now lost a game? Why keep score? Why have ladders? Why have Grand Finals?

It may not mean something to you, it may not mean much in the grand scheme of things but you can bet your life it means everything to those involved once they cross that white line onto the court.

Is that a BSA employee talking? Sure sounds like their kind of attitude, belittling their own members who are the only reason they have a job.

After the debacle when BSA allowed Western Magic into District competition I notice a new one team club in U18s - Modbury. Why? Are there not enough options to go to a district club if you want to play district. I might enter my domestic team in winter. Who thought that this was good idea

That's a strange take.

The debacle wasn't on a low division club being let it, it was that they were based in the same small area of 2 other clubs, and the same venue as one of those clubs.

The intent of the ML and DL split is to encourage other Clubs to join the DL but to keep the ML exclusive.
