Uganda Telecom sets discipline guidelines for varsity games.

This announcement was made during a meeting between participating University Sports tutors, Total Events Solutions technical team and UTL representatives held at the TES offices.

Mr. James Mutebi, Product Services Manager of Uganda Telecom said that plans are underway in designing a competitive prize for the best disciplined cheering teams during the course of the game.

He also noted that this concept is going to be introduced in all participating universities as a way of creating its awareness.

Having discipline during games is a very important for students to co-exist while at the same time they enjoy the action without interference. It is thus believed that this concept being developed by Uganda Telecom, the sole sponsors of the Invitational Inter-University games will greatly create a sense of belonging to the students.

Uganda Telecom University games postponed

The launch of the Uganda Telecom Invitational Inter-University Games which was due this Friday August 31, at Kyambogo University, has been shifted to a later date --- September 7, 2007.

The postponement follows the lack of readiness of both the hosts—Kyambogo University and the visitors--- MUBS, that were supposed to meet each other on the opening day.

According to Mr. Ahmed Kongola, Assistant Sports Tutor Kyambogo, the August date would be too close to call and as such would not offer them a chance to field a better side.

“Our students will just be returning from their holiday. They will not be ready for any games,” Mr. Ahmed Kongola said.

Mr. Hillary Kimbugwe, Sports Tutor MUBS, also noted that the date did not favour them since their students would only be returning for the semester.

“We shall hardly have students to take part. We need another week to prepare,” said Mr. Hillary Kimbugwe.

Following these requests, TES’s Technical Advisor, Mr. Francis Nsimbi adjusted the Games Fixture, by delaying the launch for a week until September 7.

The launch will still be held at Kyambogo University where the hosts will battle it out with MUBS in Pool B beginning at 2:00pm.

All Universities taking part are expected to send representatives.
