South Kingstown Basketball League - SKBL

Each player plays 12 regular season games.

6 of those games are against the 3 players in his division. (Home and Away)

4 of those games are against the 4 players in another entire division. (For the Fall 2008 Season, the North Division will play the South Division and the East Division will play the West Division---2 games home and away)

The other 2 games will be against the same place finisher in the other 2 divisions from the previous season. Since this is the first season, it will be based on alphabetical order.

THE REGULAR SEASON SCHEDULE WILL BE POSTED HERE ONLINE BEFORE TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 16, 2008.

There will be 7 games on Friday afternoons (either 3:00pm or 4:15pm) and 1 game played on Saturday Night. That game will be known as the Saturday Night Game of the Week.
