Former Chooks-to-Go 3×3 commissioner Eric Altamirano was formally tapped as tournament director of the PBA’s own 3×3 tournament which starts this year.
Alaska team governor Dickie Bachmann, who chairs the PBA 3×3 committee, bared that he and Altamirano are scheduled to meet next week to begin crafting plans for the new competition which was postponed last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Altamirano’s appointment came months after stepping down as founding commissioner of the two-year-old Chooks 3×3 league.
He will join the committee that includes team governors Raymond Zorrilla of Phoenix Super LPG and Erick Arejola of NorthPort, Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas 3×3 program director Ronnie Magsanoc and PBA technical official Joey Guanio.
