WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19
Marlon: I need some more insight on the D League. On the WBA website it says about
3 - 4 teams are promoted, do you mean they will be promoted to the D1?

Comrie: Since inception, the aim of the Lucozade Sport Men's Championship or the MBC for short aimed to become the region's most elite tournament, boasting the most talented athletes. We understood that for us to accomplish growth we had to separate the 'men from the boys' so to speak. In 2006, the Men's Open League was divided into two leagues. Six (6) teams played under the MBC while eight (8) contested the D-League. In 2007, The D-League grew to twelve (12) with the two top teams gaining promotion to the MBC in 2008, thus expanding same to eight (8). Logistically, the number ten (10) is the best number to maintain.

Ross-Andre M: This message is to first commend the creation of this site so as to give the world an opportunity to view us in the sense that we are as skilled as other teams in the world.

Comrie: Thanks for the good words. We will do our best to continue to expose our local talent and activities on the world's stage.


SATURDAY, JUNE 14
Jeniese D: Too many errors are being made by the referees throughout the matches. The errors that are being made are too obvious so something needs to be done to ensure that the league upholds its credibility and the teams are sent forward based on their performances rather than their popularity.

Comrie: Thank you for your email regarding the referee's performance at the weekend fixture. We are sorry that you were disappointed with the performance in that match. Please be assured that the performance of the referee in this fixture, together with all performances by the league referees, will be reviewed with him/them in detail in a number of different ways. There is constant monitoring of referees' performances, over time this process will only improve the quality of our referees.


SATURDAY, MAY 31
Tammy D: Can you explain why only two teams have their complete roster on the web site?

Comrie: The website continues to be upgraded and content is added almost everyday. Manpower is however lacking and as a result most details for several team/clubs' pages are not yet available online for you to see, but that doesn't mean that they have not already being created. In the coming days additional links to other club pages will become active. Your continued patience is appreciated.

Lorin L:

Comrie: Thanks for contacting us Lorin, pardon the delay in getting back to you due to issues affecting our email. We would be more than happy to see your Youtube clips. Have you ever been to Jamaica?


SATURDAY, April 26
Kym H: Why is it that I cannot find fixture for round 2?

Comrie:
You will be happy to know that the fixtures for both Round 2 and the Playoffs for the 2008 Lucozade Sport Men's Basketball Championship can be found under the Downloads menu on our website. These were uploaded some two weeks ago, however the link on our front page only pointed to that of Round 1. Looking forward to your continued support and welcome your suggestions and critique of this website and that of our basketball leagues.


SATURDAY, December 29
Daniel R: how old do you have to be to join this club ?

Comrie: Affiliation to the WBA is open to players 13 years and older. Volunteers 18 years old and above are welcomed.


WEDNESDAY, December 26
Paul R: Your Basketball movies list does not have the best ever \'Hoosiers\' so the list is incomplete.

Comrie: Thanks Paul, we chose to stick to the more recent basketball movies, titles which the younger demographic could relate to. However I do agree that Hoosiers is arguably the best basketball movie.


MONDAY, November 26
Munair: I want to play ball, where do I sign up or if any open team need a player? I play Point Guard (PG) and Shooting Guard (SG).

Comrie:
