Thanks to all who came out last week, I hope you all felt it was worth while. I believe we are going to have a great season, especially with the broad support of all the towns and many people who volunteered to help in the process. Please remember we are always looking for feedback from the program directors as they represent the interest of the overall basketball program of each town.
Following up on items that came up in the meeting, several revisions to clarify the rules language were made. The pressing rule is set to No press for 5G, press until 10 point lead for 5B, press until 15 for 6 – 8 for regular season games (press can resume once lead goes below mark, no mercy in playoffs all games). No non-resident exceptions. Unless otherwise noted, the rules posted on the site are now set.
Team Registration. I have attached the team registration form, it is due by Oct 15 to allow proper planning by the division directors to create the best division organization. Please remember to enter the competition level box. If there is a difference in the team’s level after try-outs, please feel free to update the division director . Send via email to

Fee Submission: We have amended the process by which you should submit team fees in order to make life easier for the coach. Please submit payment ($225 per team) directly to the treasurer anytime prior to Oct 31. If you wish, the payment can be submitted with the team apps if you are processing those manually. If you are submitting team apps electronically, just send the payment alone to the address below before Oct 31. We are hoping that this reduces the check in time at the scheduling meeting. If payment is not received you will not be allowed to schedule. Checks should be made out to “Fairfield County Basketball League”.
