Got called on my one night off this week to do 2 MS boys games. At this school they sometimes have a 5th quarter for the non-starters or athletes that don't play much. They even pay you extra for this. Usually this is at the end of the game.
However, last night they told us they were doing a 5th quarter during halftime with a 10 minute running clock and they wanted the score to be added to 1st half totals. They told the official scorer to mark them in the OT area of the book. OK - I'm just calling the game. But - to top it off they wanted team fouls set at zero so we wouldn't be walking doing bonus FT for the entire time - but they didn't want any fouls counted towards team totals the 2nd half and wanted them erased at end of halftime in case they needed certain players at the end of the game.
What do you have for 5th quarter games? Is this the norm? I was glad all I had to worry about was calling the game.
