Allana Lim and Snow Penaranda will clash in the WNBL-Isolation Basketball Championship (IBC) 1v1 launch on May 22 at the Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center in San Fernando, Pampanga.

Lim and Penaranda will compete in the one-day event which will be a prelude to the women’s 1v1 league that will soon be staged by the WNBL in partnership with IBC as part of innovative ways of the group to conduct basketball competitions during the pandemic.

The game will feature one of the stalwarts of women’s basketball in the 5-foot-10 Lim and the 5-foot-7 Penaranda as they compete in the light heavyweight division.

Lim and Penaranda will also play for the WNBL 5-on-5 league for the Parañaque Lady Aces and the Pacific Water Queens respectively.

Other games in the featherweight, lightweight, and heavyweight divisions that will be under the supervision of the Games and Amusements Board (GAB) are still being finalized by the league.

The rules of the 1v1 games will see players play in three, five-minute rounds with the first player to score 30 points declared as the winner.

Once the league begins, champions in each of the weight categories will take home a title belt instead of trophies and medals.

In the men’s side, Teytey Teodoro will go up against Arnaud Noah in one of the match-ups in the men’s event.

The two players made their name in the NCAA during their college days with the 26-year-old Teodoro starring for Jose Rizal University during his college days. Noah, meanwhile, captured the Finals MVP for San Beda in 2015.

The other match-up that has been finalized will see Raymart Amil of the Laguna Pistons battling Marvin Baracael of the Sulong Stan Spartans in the welterweight division.
