This tournament is not sponsored or associated with BBSA or SEAYBST. One day of school will be missed (Friday 24 November). Tryouts for the SEAYBST team will start before this tournament and every effort will be made to minimize schedule conflicts in order to ensure players focus on what is most important – their school work.
We are looking forward to a great weekend in Singapore.
