Interesting Tip-Off Time
 
Was browsing my alma mater's (Doane College in Nebraska) website for their basketball schedule when I noticed they will be traveling to Omaha to take on Nebraska-Omaha at a game that tips off at midnight local time. You enter the gym on Saturday, and leave it on Sunday. Cool! I'm gonna be there! :D

Is this going to lead in to something like one of those questions about reffing a game on a cruise ship that crosses the International Date Line while you're administering a 10 second back court count? :p

Nah, unless someone else is going to play that joke. This apparently is serious business. I would love to see who the officials are for this. How many of us would try working a game at this time? Remember this is NCAA Div. II (Nebraska-Omaha) vs. NAIA Div. I (Doane).

I once worked a kids tournament in which the championship game didn't tip off until almost 10:30 on a Sunday evening. It was the fifth game I worked that day starting at 10:00 am. I hope whoever works your game takes a really good nap that afternoon. http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...ages/sleep.gif

Is it, perchance, on the first day that games are allowed? That would make some sense as a promotional event.

D2 pay, somewhere between $175-225? I think I would do it. :cool:

Mark:

The game on the cruise ship would have to use FIBA rules and it is an eight (8) second count in the backcourt.

I am pretty sure a lot of D-1 schools have a "Midnight Madness" game to tip off the season on the first day they are allowed to have games. It's not really that unusual.

Did you know that seconds are the only common unit between the metric and English systems? :p

You realize you just spoiled Padgett's entire day. Oh well, he can cross the dateline and live it all over again. :p

I think N-Omaha is NCAA D2, not NAIA.

I looked on their website. It's their fourth game of the season.

BTW - the TV show "Leverage" last night was about a gym in Nebraska. It made the state seem like it was populated by a bunch of hillbillies stuck in the 1800s. It was about a crooked fight promoter. Of course, the good guys won in the end.

Yeah, there aren't any hills in Nebraska.
