I attended a tournament in Devils Lake, ND with my daughters grade 8 team this past weekend. I have to say what ever version of rules were being used, were not only inconsistantly applied but wrong. I was told that they were something called North Dakota Tournament rules. Well it was some version of 3 man were 1 person would stand under each hoop and 1 across from the scorers bench the whole game.... thats right they never moved. Fouls called under the basket were relayed to the center official who would yell to the scorer who the foul was on. terrible display. I should say that I am from Canada were I officiate using NCAA rules and this was not anywere near how I have been accustomed to. Anyway, I have got an even greater respect for those officials who are doing this work well.

Thanks for listening to my rant. The grass is always greener, right.
