GABF responds to King of the Court tournament promo: NCBL not affiliated to GABF

In response to the circulated video promoting the National Community Basketball League’s King of the Court Tournament, the Guyana Basketball Federation (GABF) has issued the following statement:
The National Community Basketball League (NCBL) is not affiliated to the GABF or any of the Sub Associations and Councils under the governance of the GABF.
The subjected activity has not been approved or sanctioned by the GABF and as such, no registered member of the GABF, including its Sub Associations and Councils, is authorised to participate in this event. Under the GABF Constitution, and in the interests of good governance, player safety, university eligibility compliance and professional standards, GABF members are only authorised to participate in officially-sanctioned events.
Any participation in unsanctioned activities may result in punitive action, including fines and suspension. Furthermore, at this time, any basketball- related activity must be reviewed and approved by the National COVID-19 Task Force before permission is granted by the GABF.
The GABF encourages the basketball community to continue to follow and obey the COVID-19 regulations and protocols as ordered by the Government of Guyana to protect the health and well-being of the general populace during this pandemic.
