D) HOW TO PLACE AN ONTARIO CUP BID
Gauging the Interest of the Host Organization
A club receives many benefits from hosting an Ontario Cup Provincial Championships. Hosting provides
the club a fundraising opportunity through the host subsidy, which will help lower the financial
commitment needed for players and coaches. Additionally, there are other fundraising opportunities,
including but not limited to advertising revenue, local host sponsorship, concessions, etc. It is important
to have the support of your club as they are an important source of volunteers and knowledge
throughout the hosting process.
Contacting your Local Tourism Board
Sport tourism has grown tremendously over the last decade. Most tourism boards will have a dedicated
person responsible for bringing major sport events to their region/city. Your tourism representative can
be a valuable resource in providing support for your bid. They have a wealth of experience and can
provide advice on how to compose the best bid and can help during the event execution. Meeting with
your tourism board should be a priority once you have the support of your club.
Gyms, School Boards, Universities and Colleges
Depending on your school board and local gym facilities, bookings may need to be done close to a year
in advance. Connect with your local school boards to put in requests for the necessary gym time. It is
important to make this connection as early as possible as you proceed through a bid. The availability of
gyms may determine which age groups you can potentially put a bid on. The quality of facilities is a
determining factor for the host selection committee. Tourism associations generally have additional
leverage and can assist with this process.
Accommodations
Recognizing the greater impact a provincial-wide partner has on the overall financial potential for both
host clubs and Ontario Basketball, CSTT Sports Management will manage all 2016 Ontario Cup Provincial
Championships hotel bookings.
5
Application Checklist
A letter indicating why your organization would be an optimal Ontario Cup host.
Overview of host club (history, available resources, etc.).
Letter of endorsement by member club executive and City Tourism Commission.
List of proposed facilities and confirmation of technical requirements.
Preliminary budget (include costs of facilities, etc.)
Letter from local officiating board (includes rates, number of games that can be covered, etc.)
List of volunteers (site supervisors, minor officials, etc.)
If no applications are received for any one category of the competitions, Ontario Basketball shall
determine the championship site(s). In its sole discretion, OBA’s Board of Directors has the authority to
act in the best interests of the association, and upon recommendation of the staff, to move, change or
cancel any Ontario Cup.
E) TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF HOSTING
Host compensation – $25 per team (Ex. U14 Major Bantam Boys - 112 teams. The host will receive
payment of $2,800 to cover costs of at least one site supervisor present at all times at each venue).
Minor officials (U10 Novice to U14 Major Bantam) – $20 per game (Ex. U13 Bantam Girls – 160 games:
the host will receive $3,200 to cover the two minor officials required per game)
Minor officials (U15 Midget to U19 Junior) – $30 per game (Ex. U19 Junior Men – 160 games: the host
will receive $4,800 to cover the three minor officials required per game)
Facilities – OBA will cover all approved facility expenses. These costs must be clearly outlined in the host
application budget. No transactions will be completed without an accompanying invoice.
Game officials – Ontario Basketball will cover all local board game fees. The host is responsible for
securing a letter of agreement from the local officials’ board to confirm the availability of the officials
and to secure a rate of pay. The letter of agreement must be included in the final submission (and
confirm the number of games that can be covered by the local officiating board). Ontario Basketball will
not be responsible for any fees associated with bringing in officials from surrounding boards.

Ontario Cup gyms must be approved by Ontario Basketball.
Ontario Cup Host Evaluation
All hosts will be evaluated for each Ontario Cup tournament. The evaluation will provide the hosts with
feedback from the event as well as identify where improvements can be made for future hosting
opportunities. Previous host evaluations will be a major factor in whether the host organization is
provided with future hosting opportunities.

No participating coach or player is permitted to act as a site supervisor or minor official. Additionally, all
site supervisors must attend training (generally scheduled the Thursday evening before the event).
C) GAME AND MINOR OFFICIALS
The host organization must provide trained scorers and timers as well as substitutes on stand-by. An
adult must accompany the scorer and timer if they are under the age of 16.
Minor officials should have a clear understanding of their duties at the scorer’s table. Ontario Basketball
will provide a breakdown of the responsibilities. It is required that each local host has a minor official
training session prior to the start of the tournament.
Ontario Basketball will help arrange minor official training for all shot clock operators two to three
weeks prior to the Ontario Cup tournament. It is up to the local host to notify Ontario Basketball if the
minor officials are in need of shot clock training.
Training of minor officials must occur prior to the Ontario Cup and not on the weekend itself. All hosts
must provide details on how they plan to train their minor officials in advance of the weekend.
4. SPONSORSHIP AND MARK ETING
A) ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Ontario Cup Provincial Championships will generate a large amount of revenue for the host city.
With a potential increase of dozens of teams each year, the event is a very large property that has a
substantial economic impact on business in the local municipality and throughout the province.
During the 2013 season, OBA conducted a Sport Tourism Economic Assessment Model economic impact
study with the Canadian Sport Tourism Alliance. The study found the total economic activity (industry
output) generated by the Ontario Cup Under 16 boys event staged in Ottawa was $1.9 million in the
province, with $1.3 million occurring in Ottawa.
The above figures were produced using the STEAM Model which was created by the Canadian Sport Tourism
Alliance as an aid to sport tourism. It takes into consideration the various factors involved in staging an event
like the Ontario Cup Provincial Championships weekend. The STEAM Model is conservative and the figures
shown should be considered minimum economic impact numbers.
B) SPONSORSHIP
Ontario Basketball has various corporate sponsors. In order to fulfill our sponsorship requirements, OBA
and the host organization must abide by Ontario Basketball’s signed agreements. Therefore, Ontario
Basketball must approve all potential sponsors at least 30 days in advance of hosting the event.
Ontario Basketball reserves the right to introduce additional corporate partnerships for Ontario Cup and
Ontario Basketball at any time.
C) HOST CLUB REVENUE INITIATIVES AND LOCAL SPONSORSHIP
Tournament Magazine – Ontario Basketball reserves the right to be the sole provider of the souvenir
program. Ontario Basketball currently covers the cost of all printing and will provide all revenue that the
club solicits for the program through local sponsors, provided they do not conflict with Ontario
Basketball corporate partners. Ad prices will vary with size and must be sent to OBA for approval (TBD).
Silent Auction – Any local host has the ability to solicit prizes for a silent auction. Space will be made
available at the tournament headquarters to display the items. All proceeds from the auction go directly
back to the local host. The local host is responsible for transporting and shipping all prizes.
8
Food Concessions – It is strongly recommended that every local host sets up a concession stand at every
facility throughout the weekend. Recommended items to sell include: water, fruit, coffee, sport drinks,
and soft drinks. All concession sales go directly back to the local host. The local host is responsible for
purchasing all materials, setting prices and obtaining volunteers to work the concessions.
5. LOCAL MUNICIPALITY SUPPORT
The host club should have discussions with the city, local school boards and basketball officials’ board
prior to preparing the application. You should proceed in the following ways:
 Enlist the commitment of club sponsors and volunteers for the planning, organization and
site management of the event.
 Solicit the support of the local tourism or sports council and request their participation in
the planning and organization of the event.
 Contact the local schools as a source of organizational and site volunteers.
 Contact the city's economic development and/or parks and recreation department as the
first avenue of financial support.
 If that is not successful, contact the local ward councilor and city clerk's office to request the
opportunity to have a delegation/presentation at a council meeting.
 Contact the local media to notify them of the event and efforts with the city.
6. ONTARIO BASKETBALL INITIATIVES
A) ONTARIO CUP HOST HEADQUARTERS
The headquarters should be hosted on site at a facility (i.e., RIM Park or Brock University). Being on site
at a facility all weekend allows Ontario Basketball staff to be present at more games, meet members,
and interact with spectators, players and coaches.
In order for a host headquarters to be located at a facility there must be a meeting room that is located
close to the gyms that can be occupied by Ontario Basketball throughout the weekend. There must be
enough space to store merchandise and an area where results boards can be posted. The meeting space
must also have an internet connection.
B) COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
In your bid document, please explain how you might be able to assist Ontario Basketball in engaging
members in your community, both basketball and non-basketball. In addition to showcasing the
programs your club runs, Ontario Basketball has a number of grassroots and high performance programs
that can be hosted alongside Ontario Cup.
C) ADDITIONAL CENTRALIZED GYM
In addition to the gyms required to support the number of Ontario Cup participants, a minimum of one
additional gym must be provided by the Ontario Cup host. This additional gym is in place as an
emergency facility. If needed, games can be played on this court.
D) LOCAL MEDIA INVOLVEMENT
The host organization will work closely with Ontario Basketball to create awareness and provide event
information to local media. The host will ensure there is coverage throughout the event and/or on
featured highlights of the event (medal games). Working with local media will help raise the profile of
Ontario Basketball, the Ontario Cup and your host organization. In your bid application please discuss
9
your local media strategy and include which media channels you will target and how you will get them
involved with the Ontario Cup. Please include any important media contacts in your bid.
E) PROMOTIONAL EVENT PLAN
The host will be responsible for building awareness within the community by creating a promotional
plan to target both basketball and non-basketball members within your community. The host will work
with Ontario Basketball staff to create an appropriate plan to build awareness about the Ontario Cup
Provincial Championships in the community. Promotional materials that are created for the event must
be approved by Ontario Basketball before distribution.
F) PLAYER PACKAGE CONTENT
Each year Ontario Basketball provides team packages that include an event magazine and any
promotional coupons for the players and coaches when they arrive at sign in. Some hosts have obtained
the necessary supplies to provide each player a package when they arrive at sign in. OBA will provide an
Ontario Cup program and any OBA sponsorship material for each package. The host organizations
should look to obtain restaurant coupons, tourist attractions advertisements, maps of the region, etc.
G) MEDICAL SERVICES
While Ontario Basketball asks all teams to bring their own first aid kits, first aid supplies and ice for
injuries must be available at all venues. In addition to providing first aid services, please detail any other
athletic therapy or medical services that you as a host can provide.
H) OTHER INITIATIVES
Ontario Basketball encourages every local host to leave a lasting impression with the participants and
differentiate the tournament from other local hosts by providing the best experience possible.
Additional ideas include but are not limited to providing warm-up music without profanity before every
game, introducing starting line-ups for Sunday games, etc.
7. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are all age groups open for bidding?
Yes. Ontario Basketball suggests that bids target a couple different age groups in the event you do not
receive your first choice, so you can still be considered for other age groups.
What costs does Ontario Basketball cover?
Ontario Basketball will pay all gym and officials fees for the tournament. The host will be provided with a
subsidy at the conclusion of the tournament. It is the host’s decision how that subsidy is used.
Can two clubs partnering for a joint bid?
Yes. If two or more clubs want to put together a bid, it could help with the number of volunteers, the
quality of facilities and, overall, allow more people to be involved in hosting an Ontario Cup.
What should an Ontario Cup facility have?
It is important that all facilities used at the Ontario Cup have a wood floor and sufficient spacing along
the sidelines so there are no obstacles such as walls, player benches or spectator seating. The size of the
gym acceptable for competition will be dependent on the age group. Preferably all gyms should have
access to the scoreboard (a table score-clock is acceptable if necessary). The location of venues is also
important as all gyms should be located within as close a proximity to the headquarters as possible.
Where can I find volunteers outside of my own organization?
Many volunteers can be found through high school leadership programs, local colleges and universities,
other OBA clubs and additional volunteer associations.
10
How can I provide training and experience for my minor officials before the Ontario Cup?
Experienced minor officials are an integral part to a successful Ontario Cup weekend. Once you have
identified your minor officials for the weekend, they can obtain experience with scorekeeping by helping
out at a sanctioned tournament or doing exhibition games. Additionally, a training date can be arranged
with OBA staff in advance of the Ontario Cup.
If I obtain local sponsorship, what do I have to give to Ontario Basketball?
For the 2016 Ontario Cup, Ontario Basketball will allow hosts to keep all advertisement and local
sponsorship revenue they generate, minus the hard costs associated with any printing. All local
sponsorship must be approved by OBA prior to making any agreements in order to ensure they do not
conflict with any current sponsors.
Who works with the local officials’ board?
The host organization is responsible for making the initial contact with the officials’ board and obtaining
a letter that confirms the board will be able to provide the necessary officials for the weekend(s) the
host organization is bidding for. OBA will communicate with the officials’ board prior to the event when
the final schedules have been finalized and will pay the officials board at the conclusion of the event.
When will I know how many teams will be attending the Ontario Cup I am hosting?
Final numbers for all girls’ tournaments and U10-U14 boys’ tournaments will be known in early
February. Final numbers for U15-U19 boys’ tournaments will be known in late April. Once gyms are set,
only a limited number of spots will be available, any other teams will be put on a waiting list.
How should I submit my final bid?
Final bids should be submitted electronically to Ontario Basketball to the email below.
Should we secure a back-up facility for emergencies?
Yes. As the event nears, there can be problems with a facility that may prevent the use of that facility for
competition. A back-up facility will ensure games will be played.
