‘One Guyana’ National Basketball Conference continues today
Kaieteur Sports – The Guyana Basketball Federation, in partnership with the Georgetown Basketball Association, “One Guyana” National Conference continues tonight. Basketball enthusiasts can catch all the action at the National Gymnasium Outdoor Court on Mandela Avenue, with the games starting at 18:30 hours, marking Day Five of this exhilarating tournament.
The tournament which initially kicked off on Saturday, August 12th, features 14 teams divided into two dynamic conferences: the Harpy Eagles Conference and the Jaguars Conference. With a projected total of 56 to 63 games to be played throughout the competition, in the quest to crown the nation’s basketball champion.
In this tournament format, teams within the Jaguars Conference and Harpy Eagles Conference will face off against each other twice. The top four teams from each conference will then earn the privilege of competing in the playoffs. The playoff matchups are structured with the number one-ranked team facing the fourth-ranked team, while the second-ranked team battle the third-ranked team. The victors of these playoff games will advance to their respective Conference Finals, where they will engage in a best-of-three series to determine who earns the right to move on to the National Finals.
