Nominated 8’s
At the pre-season meeting it was decided that for the 2008-09 season, all 1st Division clubs must submit the names of 8 players that shall only be eligible to play in the 1st Division. This would then allow some ‘bench players’ to get more time on court in a 2nd Division team.
Several 1st Division clubs have not yet submitted their nominations, and I would ask that these clubs do so as soon as possible, even if they do not envisage any of their players playing for a 2nd Division team.

HPL Player Registrations
The form for submitting your HPL Player Registrations is now available on the web site, as discussed at the Pre-Season Meeting, all clubs MUST complete these details prior to the team playing its first game AND with enough time to allow Sean to input player license information. Until a player’s status is listed as ‘Registered’ they shall not be eligible to play in any HPL Game.
In addition, all 1st Division teams (and clubs with teams in both divisions) must return to the same form to nominate the 8 players who shall only be eligible to play in the 1st Division.

Table Officials Course & Pre-Season Tournament
The HBBA will be running a course for Table Officials prior to and during the Pre-Season Tournament on Sunday September 28th.
It will run from 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Wodson Park Sports Centre in Ware. If anyone in your club would like to attend please download the Application Form and send it to Sara Nash.
Remember, every club must have at least one qualified table official. Also, all clubs are entitled to send one person to the course free of charge, as each club pays an annual £25 fee to subsidise the cost of a course.
Other points:
1. It is planned that a referees course will be run at some point later in the season.
2. Shab Niaz intends to send several of the Harlow Hawks players to the course, so that they can help with officiating at the Junior Central Venue League he runs.
If you are willing to offer up your club's free place for this season to him he would very much appreciate it and it would be a great support for the development of basketball in the region.
Please can you let Shab know, by email, if you are happy for him to use your free place to subsidise his costs.
