Tubby not one word of what you just said is true. Stop trying to bring the evil empire down with rumour and lies.

this time the evil empire is 100% correct. changing the seasons to run over a calendar year would be a disaster for SA.

Tubby,

I think that you will find that Sturt and several other clubs are disagreeing due to the fact that when the same change was made in the 80's it had a disasterous effect on the number of programming changes that occrred in junior basketball. Also, that the number of teams in the competition decreased. That the number of game changes during finals will increase rather than during the summer season during School Nationals, SASI tour, exam period and schoolies which would lob during main season finals. That is would only give BASA 3 weeks to prepare for State Champs when they have failed with 8 weeks preperation the last 2 years. That we would be 3 month behind other states in the development of our players.

But I guess you are from a club that would rather bring the level of basketball back down to your low standard than rise to any sort of elite standard. That you agree with BASA miss informing clubs about the result of the decision and that a flawed process is fine if it makes a decision in favour of your club. Even though a majority of club when given truthful fact of the reprocussions of the decision would rather change their vote. Be damed with the level of basketball in this state. Not to mention that it would bring an already financially cripplied association to bankrupcy faster than a Makybe Diva final straight run.

You my friend have a moter who is a hampster and a father who smell of wilderberries! Thank you and good day.

Maybe it is time to listen to some of the more succesfull clubs if we are to get BASA and the game back on the track. Tubby you are a tool - wake up !

Ha Ha tubby,

Crashed and burned.

look this is not happening, i h8 people trying to make up stuff. F-A-K-E

CHANGE OF SEASON
LOL

I am a little confused given that we have a program showing an extended summer season. I also understand that sometime this week meetings were taking place to make a final decision.

Does anyone understand what is going on?

Does anyone know what happened at these meetings?

Meeting is tonight with all club being able to make submissions to the representatives of the board.

Hopefully decision will be made tomorrow.

Any news on the meeting and submissions?

Has a decision been made?

Yes it has been reversed to the original seasons

So when will the winter season end?

very important for teenagers not to miss schoolies week

BASA as always confused. Decisionmakers with no idea. Please someone start over again. Surely this bull can not continue indefinitely. Give us some stability and direction or go.

i heard that the decision was overturned by those who couldn't accept the original decision who continually agitated and went higher and higher and until they got what they wanted

would love to see the constitution on all that happened to see if it was kosher

The decision was overturned after much deliberation and discussion of the facts; not opinion.

The end result is a win for junior basketball in S.A. Anon #60458 I suggest you admit that and stop trying to pick a fight.

"For 2005/2006, reducing the summer season from 18 rounds to 13 rounds, involving a corresponding earlier commencement to the winter season involving 22 rounds and 3 final rounds (excluding division one which may have 18 rounds)."

When will it be decided whether in winter div 1 will have 18 or 22 rounds and why the possible difference from the rest ?

The process actually followed the constitution. By the 5 largest clubs who were against the change in the first place and the clubs that changed their minds after they realised that the junior committee had mislead them into the decision in the first place.

I am guessing that the reason for the 18 round competition for Div 1 is to ensure a much fairer system in having the final ladder for determining finals positions.

What is their thinking in terms of season starts and finishes - will Div 1 start 4 weeks after the other Divs?

Some sceptics out there are also thinking what stops a club rotating their div 1 players down if the season does in fact start at different times with flow on impact into all the divisions. Please do not be concerned; we all know that all clubs are beyond reproach when it comes to bending the rules or doing something that isn't in the best interests of the sport!!

Where have you been?

The format has gone back to the original as the number of flaws in the proposal were going to lead the sport down into receivership.

11 Round summer comp for all grades.

2 rounds of finals.

22 rounds winter comp.

4 rounds of finals.

All finished before October.

So when will the Summer season (that is on now) stop? The original dates or the new ones?

Anon (#60519)

Maybe I should ask where you have been!. The official letter out from BASA suggests that it is a possibility that the Winter season for Div 1 only may be 18 rounds or 22 rounds whereas all other divs will be 22.

That concept leadsd to others like. Whtat happens if you only have 8 teams in a Div 1 comeptition like the U/12 Girls, the U/14 Boys and girls.

Does this mean that they are planning on only having 14 rounds for an even competition or 21 rounds?

i love playing devils advocate it is so much of a laugh to put up an opposite opinion and watch you all try to defend your positions.
