Cool

In my pregame with my partner, I go over the following:

1) make sure he/she is well versed in Howler Monkey
2) decide who will call the first T
3) agree that whoever calls the first T has "odds" and the other official "evens" for calling the rest of the Ts
4) insist that I get to check for navel piercings
5) don't discuss checking for nipple rings
6) inform my partner that if the game goes into overtime - it's his/her fault
7) remind my partner (if a male) to tuck his whistle in his shirt when he takes a leak (this is the best advice I ever got at a camp)
8) remind my partner that we must declare the AP arrow incorrect at least once each half so we have something to yell at the table chimps about
9) always, and I mean always, make sure we foul the smart-mouthed kid out early
10) agree to help each other identify the babes in the stands

That's about it.

Note to Juulie - in point 1, notice I used the term "he/she", and in point 6 "his/her", for my partner. I wasn't trying to be politically correct, just covering the possibility my partner might be a hermaphrodite.

Only in girls' games, right

Mr.Chuck Elias,

Sir, Thanks for sending the notes. They will be a big help to me even if my older partners don't want to listen. I'm glad I've got my copy before you copywrite them.

Thanks, Stan

Chuck --

As long as we're at it, would you mind sending them to me too? I'm thinking it's time for me to start working on my Pre-game, and the list in the Officials' Manual is overwhelming!

Just to let everybody know, I'm so happy that people have an interest in my notes that I've posted the entire thing as a separate thread. It's under "Pre-game Notes (not copywrited)". Please feel free to copy them or just read through them and leave comments. Again, thanks to everybody who has shown an interest.

Chuck

I didn't want to say that because, even though I do try to keep abreast of the situation, I didn't want to sound like a boob.
