NBL confirms pre-season tournament in Darwin

From a media release just in:

The National Basketball League will hold a pre-season tournament, the Top End Challenge, featuring all eight NBL teams in Darwin from 3 - 5 September in the lead-up to the 2009/10 season, Basketball Australia has announced.

The event, which is being supported by the Northern Territory government and will be the biggest basketball event in Darwin's history, will provide teams with the chance to have an invaluable hit-out prior to the tip-off of the NBL regular season on September 24.
(Then some boring quotes from stakeholders - at least Larry doesn't call anything a "vote of support for reform" in this one.)
The gathering of the NBL community in Darwin will also facilitate a number of important governance meetings, including a NBL/Club CEO’s Meeting and a meeting of the NBL Commission, which governs the NBL and answers to the BA Board, consisting of Dianne Smith-Gander and Bruce Spangler (BA Board), CEO Larry Sengstock and Commissioners Ian Smythe (CEO Townsville Crocodiles), Wayne Morris (CEO Wollongong Hawks), Paul Blackwell (Owner New Zealand Breakers) and Andrew Vlahov (Independent).
