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. |

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

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. |
