disgust, and misunderstanding flocked the venue resulting into disorderly behavior of
participants redounding to the stressful conduct of the tournament;

the MECA basketball tournament provides that such a scenario have had been a
repeated scene and had almost been accepted as the new normal in the handling of the
league;

WHEREAS, our consultation further revealed that such a doubting and

unpleasant scenario was caused by the lack of rules providing for the eligibility of
players and for the lack of material time in organizing a team;

WHEREAS, such a problem, if not provided by a solution at this early will

continually hit the tournament with criticisms straight to the face of the MECA and its
incumbent and future officers;

not an option thus there is the need to find a responsive solution at this early it being
almost a continuing responsibility of the MECA;

players using the Facebook account of MECA (Maayon Educational And Civic
Association) where rules, updates, and developments can be threshed out in the web

basketball opened the door for non-Maayonon players to play in the tournament to the
disadvantage of Maayonanon players being deprived of the slot in the team;
