The 2nd annual Winter Basketball Tournament 2008 would be called WINTER KARAMBOLA. To participate in this kind of tournament, we are teaching our young & mature players to engage in exercise, learn more techniques in basketball and to form camaraderie among our Filipino community.

The tournament goal is to evenly match all the teams to an even more enjoyable and fun games.

The opening day of the tournament would be held on January 20, 2008 at Mount Haven Tsing Yi from 3:30pm to 9:00pm, there will be two games on this day. This tournament would last for at least 3 months. There will be a parade of teams on the opening day to be serenaded by beautiful muses of each team. Quota fees are individually paid by the players and all jerseys were sponsored by OBC MOTORS c/o Mr. Sha (the owner). Each team will play a double round elimination whereas top two teams will play for Finals and 3rd & 4th standing teams vie for 3rd place. There are only 10 players on each team to allow them to play longer minutes throughout the tournament.
