My ritual just consist of the following:
Arrive at least 40 minutes early if it is a 4 o clock game.
An hour early for a game in the evening.
On my way there just listen to some music mostly some hip hop and r&b
Even before I leave for my game I always double check and make sure I have everything in my bad.
When I get to my game site. start stretching listen to some music on my until my partner gets there and do a pre-game.
When i am out on the floor, it depends if I am the referee or an umpire. If I am the referee before I toss the ball I step over at mid-court and opposite of the table and just look into the sky and thank the people who have helped me get to where I am.
If I am the umpire I normally will do it when the R goes over and check the book.
