Lightbulb Liability issue.

I realize that it might be a pain in the ass, but you better make sure that the surface is totally clean and not slippery. If it is not, and a kid or anyone else for that matter slips, they might just hold you responsible for their injuries. Take all the time you need, because it might benefit you in the long run.

Just something to think about.

During halftime of a local HS varsity tournament finals, last Saturday, A fan spilled her Frito Chili Pie just out of bounds, under the basket. The FCP got cleaned up but a thin film of grease remained on the floor. Several times during the half a player trying to inbound the ball slipped and either fell onto the court or slipped and fell dropping the ball onto the court. The game was a blowout and there was no way I was going to penalize the losing team for the slippery surface. So, I let the same teamenbound the ball again. On two occasions I ask Game Management to clean the floor. Both efforts were obviously unsuccessful. Because the game was a run-away ,there were no complaints from coaches or fans. My concern is what to do in a similar situation and close game?
