This may not come close to yours, but about two months ago, just a few days before Halloween, I go to work a high school YMCA league at a middle school gym. The middle school is being renovated, and therefore has a temporary electrical line that sways when it is quite windy. That particular day was very windy, and the line kept swaying, and some of the lights would go on and off in the gym, but we still had enough light to continue play. However, the electrical shortage sometimes caused the scoreboard to go off and we had to resort to having the timer use a stopwatch.

There was a point where the lights flickered as I was ready to administer a throw-in and a couple of the lights actually went out. The boy looked at me and asked, what the heck is going on? I just replied, you never played halloween ball before?
