Otwell Men's Basketball League Start-Up The 2021 OMBL (Otwell Men's Basketball League) will start up again in August for its fall season. The cap for the total teams will be 10 again this year, with a minimum of six teams. Eight players per team are recommended due to there not being any mid-season acquisitions. Due to the un- certainty of how many people will play this year, there will not be a "free agent" pool. If you don't have the resources to form a team, then you will need to ask who might need an extra player. The T-shirt fee will be required upfront this year. If you are interested, have questions or need to submit your team, contact John Hellman at 812-354-4729 or follow them on their facebook group at Otwell Men's Bas- ketball League. Once the limit of six is hit, a submission deadline will be posted on the Facebook group.
