SATURDAY WARS LEAGUE

"REINVENTING THE STEEL: BUILDING A LEAGUE OF OUR OWN" by Victor Aguilar (July 25, 2011)

Since the Saturday Wars' fielding of multiple contingents in their invasion of the Las Vegas Asian Basketball League (LVABL), the members of the friendly outdoor hoops organization have clamored for an identity of their own and to be a part of a organized sporting system. With the Asian League's specific race qualifications and certain players restrictions, the racially diverse weekend tilt population have not been able to get involved with the venture of their Asian brethrens. It has been a growing public sentiment that after 5 years of grinding it out in the concrete hardcourts of various outdoor venues battling extreme elements, it's about time we toil the brotherhood and the spirit of competition under the atmosphere of systematic official rules.

The Saturday Wars' maiden voyage into the realm of official hoops competition started over a year ago when the original weekend team LUGNUTZ, the brain child of original weekend baller Chris Cabrera, broke the barrier when they tested their mettle in their debut Summer season 2010 of the Asian Tuesday League Copper Division tournaments in which they established themselves as serious contenders. Among the earliest Lugz were Jomar Siglos, Jimbo De Leon, Will McGrath, Alex Domingo, and Donny Herbano. The Road Warriors 2nd season campaign saw the infusion of more weekend warriors into the Asian League realm that included Ariel Avila, Micky Pichay, Adam Asejo, Benny Seibert, Victor Aguilar, Jay Siglos, Reuel De Castro, and Mhel Villacampo.Subsequent Lugz sorties introduced more Saturday Wars mainstays in Austin Laforteza, Danny Lee, Christian Mendoza, Joshua Villar, and Ira Todd Woodard.

In between the lines, the venture branched out into amicable breakaway factions that sired the PROMETHEUS brood -- the Gold Fire Thieves, the Black Fire Eaters, and the Red Firestarters -- that started a mass exodus of plain outdoor league troopers to seasoned organized basketball stalwarts that at one point included a slew including Donnie Clemente, Jonathan Clemente, Voltaire Orpilla, Carlos Macasinag, Yul Abragan, Tony Iwakawa, Ralph Tabana, Erwin Nunez, Archie Concon, Christian Villanueva, Mike Imperial, and Hermie Arciosa. New bloods recently infused from the rich Saturday Wars system are Greg Agustin, Dindo De Guia, Bryan Ganitano, Randie Gonzaga, and Randy Agtarap. This is a testament of how deep talents thrive in a mere pick-up basketball group.

Despite the one year tenure of the "Operation: Asian League Invasion", the lure of the camaraderie that was forged and strengthened under the open azure sky trading baskets, hustling for loose balls, sweating buckets throughout the 5 years of the Saturday Wars existence always polarized the weekend players back to their old stomping grounds playing together under the traditional streetball fashion. The level of competition has never waned nor the enthusiasm wavered tussling for the morale-boosting best individual record and the highly-coveted Las Vegas Saturday Basketball League (LVSBL) Weekly Cup tournament, a creative concoction of league mastermind Victor Aguilar to keep interest alive. But with the rich experience gained in competing in under an established organized league umbrella and the persistent demand to elevate Saturday Wars into an official organized entity, the League Commission has rolled the dice, decided to dip its toes into deeper waters, and tackle the challenge of putting together an ambitious project that require a lot of blueprinting, careful planning, time management, and creative effort.

Though not officially cracked open, the Commission is hard on work on puling together interested players from the weekend brotherhood as well as acquaintances to sign-up for the "draft" by mere word of mouth. Chuck Minker Gym appears to be close to being locked as the venue for the proposed league running the duration of the summer scorcher from tentative dates of early August to early October 2011. Interested players will be drafted by a starting 6 team contingent that may include Saturday Wars squads DARK KNIGHTS, BLUE DEMONS, CELTIC WARRIORS (aka Fighting Greens), RED ARMY, and GREAT WHITES as well as the Asian League representatives LUGNUTZ, and 3 PROMETHEUS banners. The initial season will only accomodate 6 rosters among the mentioned 9 groups with participation decided by virtue of the elevation-relagation rule depending how they figure in the standings after the season is over. Ideal number of 8 players per team to ensure adequate number and balanced competition every game. 7-8 prelimnary games then knockout playoff system based on seedings will decide the season's Cup titlist.

3 games will be played every week 1 hour duration per game every Saturday mornings for 10 weeks starting from 9am and ending at 12pm. Games will be a 40 minute contest, 20 minute running time per half except on time outs and the last 2 minutes of the final half if the lead is less than 10 points. 2 timeouts are allowed every half and every regular basketball rules are enforced.

The new association will not be profit oriented nor will it be designed to compete with more established leagues as its main purpose at this point is to get the project launched into orbit and get all Saturday boys involved. It will be a concerted effort that will require everyone's participation, cooperation, suggestions, and a little bit of logistics to keep the machinery running. The spirit of brotherhood, fun, and competition will be the drive that wll propel this endevour to greater heights. SATURDAY WAR will soon be decared.

SATURDAY WARS LEAGUE INAUGURAL SEASON KICKS OFF "WAR IS DECLARED!!" (August 6, 2011)

The inaugural season of the weekend tilt that was formerly known as Saturday Wars Cup kicked off in a slambang opening week of festivities as the birth of the Saturday Wars League commenced. With overwhelming support and rousing participation of the original Saturday boys infused with new bloods, the project was launched into orbit in a successful fashion.

League staff consisting of Commissioner VICTOR AGUILAR, President of Basketball Operations REUEL DE CASTRO, Committee Directors JOMAR SIGLOS, DINDO DE GUIA, ADAM ASEJO, and ARIEL AVILA were in tow to oversee the fruit of their labor and love for the game of basketball come to fruition. Teams came in donning their team banners and colors as the combatants were officially introduced after months of whirlwind hype online. Opening ceremonial tipoff ushered the league officially into the realm of Las Vegas organized hoops as 6 teams waged friendly and cordial hardcourt skirmishes for the most coveted prize for the season -- the 2011 Commissioner's Cup.

History was written at Chuck Minker Sports Complex when LUGNUTZ Road Warriors played the first game against RED ARMY. Lugz' forward AUSTIN RICHARD LAFORTEZA not only scored the first basket of the league but the first 8 points leading the original Saturday Wars squad Lugnutz to a convincing victory.

Veteran referees KENNETH SPAIGHT and RONNIE WHITEHEAD, inarguably two of the best officials out of the Asian League, became the first batch to call the games for the SWL. With their trademark solid officiating, oncourt integrity, "call it down the middle" officiating, and their colorful personalities on and off the court, they are the best ambassadors to run and oversee the games.

Good turnout in terms of audience and thunderous receptions during the game made the opening week more exciting as ever. With the officials table covering all the action complete with announcers, commentators, statisticians, and photographers, the Commission had all the bases covered.

We've merely scratch the surface. With more ideas, more suggestions, more gimmicks, and more action in store, the league is bound to get bigger and better. From a mere pick-up series struggling to get players to come out and play against the outdoor elements to a growing monster, there's no signs of truce and ceasefire to the war that's been waged.

LAS VEGAS SATURDAY BASKETBALL LEAGUE 2006: WEEKEND OUTDOORS TILT!!

A friendly outdoor basketball league purely for recreation and exercise. A small but growing community of diverse culture, profession, and age group committed to battling it out every Saturday morning on the hardcourt for nothing more than pure pride and bragging rights of being called the kings of the hardcourt for the week -- and occassionally winners of a friendly wager of Gatorade the following weeks. Don't be fooled, as friendly and cordial as they seem outside the court, these hoopsters are fierce and passionate competitors when the ball is tipped into play, either team loathing the very thought of losing.

In victory or defeat, in extreme heat or cold weather, through the awesome workout and minor but excruciating injuries, it all boils down to building a bond of respect, camaraderie, and sportsmanship.

See you this Saturday on the hardcourt -- and bring your game with you!!!
