KUCHING: The Kuching Festival Sports Toto 3 on 3 Basketball Jamboree 2019 will be held at the foyer of Kuching South City Council (MBKS) building on August 11 from 7am onwards.
Sports Toto (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, which has been the main sponsor for 27 consecutive years, handed over the sponsorship of RM30,000 to mayor Datuk James Chan Khay Syn at MBKS office yesterday.
Chan said that the jamboree has always been an annual attraction for the local basketball players and enthusiasts. “Last year, we had 82 teams that took part in the jamboree.
“We are expecting more teams to participate this year as we accept any number of participating teams as participants can mingle together.
“This is the type of atmosphere that we want to create here and is our aim in hosting this event.
“We are not hosting the competition just for the sake of basketball. That is why we have a purpose and that will be providing a platform where participants can come together for this social game,” he said.
The competition features seven categories, namely Non-Chinese Men Open, Women Open, 20 and Under (Boys), 16 and Under (Boys), 16 and Under (Girls), 12 and Under (Boys), and 12 and Under (Girls).
Each team can have a maximum of four players.
Registration forms can be obtained from Counter D, the One Stop Counter, MBKS lobby, Jalan Padungan here during office hours, or MBKS official website mbks.sarawak.gov.my.
Completed forms must be returned to the same counter on or before August 8 by 4pm.
