In WI we have both. We get captains at 12:00 mark. Captains is very brief with just intro's and sportsmanship / communications issues. R then goes to table to care of those duties. The problem I've been running into lately is that the players are not on the court at the 12:00 mark even though we tell them when we take the floor. If they're not on the court (gone to locker room for final pregame speech), we just do the book at 10:00 and captains when they are both on the floor. Then at 1:30 we introduce ourselves to the coaches and have them verify that their players are properly equiped and will play in a sporting manner. Usually they say yes, but every once in a while you'll get the lawyer who will say "I can't guarantee that they will". I've never come accross one that said no. Ump then signs the book, take off jackets, National Anthem, intros, Lets Rock!
