chseagle,

I'm coming to your locale Wednesday night for the BV game...if we have a blowout, you do know it is going to be all your fault.

Concerning the 40 point mercy rule:

Keep the clock running untill the official reports the foul and indicates there will be foul shots...then you can turn off the clock and wait for the official to signal a start of the clock with a "chop".

Stop clock for TO's and between quarters.

There you go...that part of our pre-game is over...now we can talk about what you are going to get Mrs. Scorekeeper for Christmas.

That's what we were told last night during the Boys' V game where I was shot clock.

I remember on the meeting on the 13th, there was discussing of exactly when the clock should stop for FTs & nothing concrete had been concluded yet.

At least that's been finalized.

unfortunately I don't have the full stats for the team we're going against Wednesday night, the only thing I do know it it'll be 1A vs. 2B. Also that we won't have C-Squads.

Unless there's an illness or the V Timer just doesn't show up, I'll be either shot clock or crowd control during Boys' V Wednesday night.

As for Christmas Present, with what money? Being together on Christmas should be present enough for any couple.
