GIRLS BASKETBALL

HISTORY AND AWARDS:

The NOSSA basketball championships were resumed in 1952 with Sudbury as the host team. For some years prior, just exhibition games had been played. The trophy awarded in 1952 was a can covered with aluminum foil. North Bay took home the coveted award.

By the time the 1953 tournament had arrived a trophy had been donated by Mr. J. H. Owens, A North Bay business man. It was known as the Owens trophy.

Holder of the OWENS TROPHY:

1952 North Bay

1953 Sault Technical School

1954 Kirkland Lake

1955 Sault Technical School and Timmins (tied)

Travelling to the far north became impossible after 1956. Without any definite constitution, two divisions, a northern and a southern were formed. The J.H. Owens Trophy was given to the Sault Technical School which had won it three (3) times.

In 1957 the TRUSSLER Trophy, again a donation from a North Bay businessman, was awarded to the winner of the Senior League.

In 1955 Bumbacco Sports in Sault Ste. Marie donated a trophy to the winner of the Junior A and Senior B competition. It was won in 1955 and 1956 by Copper Cliff.

b) The team having the best ratio of won/lost games, considering matches played between the tied teams, will be ranked higher.

c) The team having the best ratio of won/lost games, considering all matches of the round robin, will be ranked higher.

d) The team having the best ratio of points for/against, considering games played between the tied teams, will be ranked higher.

e) The team having the best ratio of points for/against, considering all games played during the round, will be ranked higher.

When you apply this rule to break a tie you should follow this sequence:

1. When two teams are tied, the tie breaking criteria are applied one after the other until the tie has been broken.

2. When three or more teams are tied, the tie breaking criteria are applied one after the other until all the tied teams have been ranked.

Note: This means that if there is a tie among teams X, Y and Z and criteria "b" is able to determine X as first, Y as second and Z as third, then no further criteria are to be used. The tie is broken.

However, if criteria "b" determines X as first and there is still a tie between Y and Z, then the ranking of the remaining teams will be determined by proceeding to criteria "c" and so on, if necessary. Do not start at "a" again, continue through the sequence of criteria.
