Pre Season Blitz Needs a Sponsor

I heard the pre-season blitz needs a naming rights sponsor to make it viable. I think this presents a good opportunity for businesses, for example the 'wizaed cup' 'banksa state league'etc all recognisable businesses due to sponsorship. A good opportunity for someone to having naming rights to what should be a very good event. Most clubs have registered a team for both men and women. Contact Dale Martin at Starplex on 8522 0622 if interested.

It would be good to get a South Australian Business to sponsor it cause then we could get the event here.

Yes, they're talking about the ABL Blitz. The NBL Blitz for 2006/07 is to be hosted by West Sydney.

How many games are played over the weekend?
Perhaps the umpires could be the naming sponsor by working for free....

The ABA Umpys Blitz!!!!

Good way to improve the relationship between teams and refs.

Shouldnt see any Tech fouls then either.

eat your words the umpires last year did it for free

they were at best given $10 to help with petrol expenses for the day

any more smart ideas

also the games at training that the umpires who are going away to nationals are done at their own cost

many abl refs will happily attending training scrimages pre season if asked

Are you sure they were not paid? I was not being serious.... It was a throw away line.

I don't actualy think they should do the games for free because that would not be profesional.

If they have, then - Hat's off to them.....

I know at Centrals last year they were not paid as I said Petrol money of $10.00 was offered

the scorers (STOP)/stats people also gave their time for free and they didn't get petrol money

Not sure what happened at Mt Barker but as I said the referees are not adverse to giving their time for free or for little money for the better of the sport like the blitz

it gets them into the swing of things - it helps them especially if new rules are coming in

mind you i don't think the nbl blitz is not paid but then again the players wouldn't be playing for free either and its sponsored and televised...different kettle of fish

Yes last season the refs did do it for free, (at Neil's request) although it was budgeted at $50.00 / game refs fees. as for how much a business would need to sponsor, here is a break down of last years Club Financial Classic (women's games only) Referees Fees - $(280.00), Food for tournament officials - $(218.40),Trophies - $(315.00), T-shirts and showbags - $(1724.50), Court Hire - $(660.00), Payment & Donation to CDBC - $(500.00), Payment to Photographers - $(300.00) Additional Expenses - $(700.00) so for a tournament involving only women's teams you would be looking at approx $5000.00 add the men and you would be looking at about $7500.00. Last year the major surplus was from the referees donating their time if the referees get paid the cost of running a tournament like this would increase dramatically. I would think that the clubs involved would accept any support from business but naming rights should be around the 70% mark of their budget and all the teams are putting up $100 each that should be about the remainder of the costs depending what services and bonuses are being offered to players and teams. does anyone have additional information on the weekend?

So technically if no sponsor is found this weekend won't be going ahead?
