Congrats, and a bit of advice. DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING!!! Just call your normal game. You were selected because people respect the job you do. I've seen too many officials attempt to alter the way they call in their first playoff/championship game because they think this is different because it is the playoffs/a championship contest, and it usually doesn't work out well.

It was a joke
