On Sunday night, Mother's Day, I had four games starting at 6:00 pm. My last game at 9:00 was delayed for various reasons and didn't start until 9:25. It ran until about 10:35.
I only mention this for you guys on the East coast. Since I am on Pacific time, this means that at 1:35 am your time, while you were getting your beauty sleep to prepare for your Monday morning commute, I was sticking a banana in some howler monkey's pie-hole and telling him to go scratch himself. Sweet dreams.

Just think - when we're getting up at 7 am, you're still snug in bed at 4 am your time!

The sad thing, Mark, is that only 3 hours or so after you walked off the court, while you were making your patently futile attempt at "beauty" sleep , those of us on the East coast were yawning, scratching ourselves, and shoveling breakfast cereal (with bananas on it) into our pie-holes. Man, I hate Monday mornings.

Quote:
If a game goes into overtime, the first team to score five points wins. If neither team scores five points in two minutes (stop time - no timeouts), then there will be a sudden death second overtime. The reason for the "five" points is that it gives each team at least two possessions and puts some strategy into shooting threes. The reason that a team "must" get at least five to win in the two minutes is to avoid a team being ahead and holding on to the ball. This creates rough play due to intentional fouls. If a team is up say, 4-3 and has the ball, they still must try to score before the two minutes is up, and the defense is forced to play good defense without fouling. BTW - we probably will be going to all running clock games also. It's not specifically a time management tool, but we feel it will be easier to get parent volunteers running the clock if they aren't constantly yelled at by other parents to start the clock. I'd be interested to get some comments on the "five point must system". Of course, I will never have to use it, since I don't allow overtimes.

the possibility for double-overtime when neither team can muster 5 points. Yeah, I know it potentially reduces overtime when a team can get to 5 before the two minutes. If your interest is to prevent the 7PM game from starting at 8:30PM then just use a 2 minute running clock OT and declare a tie at the end of the 2 minutes when need be. Allow each team only 1 TO for the OT, FWIW & IMHO. OK, TTFN...

One of our rec leagues has a 2-minute O/T and if still tied, they "start" another 2-minute O/T and the first team to score wins.

Mark --
I like it betetr when there is no time limit--it's simply the first team to 5. Your way is probably fairer, but very hard to explain. What coach (present company excepted) is going to understand it? |

Team B scores with 14 seconds to go to go up by two. A2 comes down, holds the ball, then with two seconds to go, puts up a 3. It swishes through at the horn. Long game, but fun. Earlier, I had a girls JV game and the halftime score was 46-2. Boy, that was fun, too.
