MANILA, Philippines – The games of the University of the Philippines (UP) Fighting Maroons, including their first win this season, could be forfeited after they failed to submit documents for their American player’s eligibility.
Sports website Spin.ph reported Saturday, August 25, that the Maroons have yet to submit American Chris Ball’s Alien Certificate of Registration, which is required of foreigners playing in the University of Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP).
Quoting UAAP President Nilo Ocampo, the website said UP asked that the deadline be moved.
Ocampo said UP was given until September 7 to submit the papers. “But the thing is, they were given only up to the first round so the (UAAP) board will have to convene and decide on it,” Ocampo said in the report.
A July 7 Inquirer report said UP also failed to submit Ball’s Philippine embassy-authenticated live birth certificate.
Ball is a rookie from Canyon High School in California.
The first round of UAAP games concluded on Sunday, August 19, the same day the Maroons notched their first win, dropping the University of the East Red Warriors in the process.
The Maroons currently have a 1-7 win-loss record. – Rappler.com
