On Saturday I did six games--one at one site, two at another, and three at the last stop for the day, a Catholic school for their "novice" level girls tournament (4th-5th grade I believe). These games were solo in a tiny, packed little gym. They are fun (some of the older girls from the school are the DJs and play a lot of music between games and during intermissions and there are many little kids running around.
But I was tired and ready for the day to be over. My set started 30 minutes late because they couldn't start the tournament back up until mass was over upstairs. I got through all three games smoothly, with one hiccup. The score was stuck at 18-18 for the last couple minutes of the fourth quarter. Sure enough, nobody scored, not even on free throws, and I had overtime. (With no one to blame!) OT that started at 10:05 PM!
Mercifully the OT went quickly and the game ended 20-19 at about 10:10.
