We got an email this week from our association secretary to have clothes on when working with female officials, AD's, and team personal, not quite sure who around here is doing this but it makes you wonder...


The JV thing is nice but doesnt quite address the question our association sent them. Which is how does this count for player's quarter limit and if "overtime" in this case is counted as an extension of the last quarter or counts as another quarter against the player's limit.

The Facebook thing is just common sense. If you are officiating high school basketball/soccer/volleyball, it does not look good when your list of facebook friends includes the good looking point guard (or ugly point guard for that matter) for one of the two teams you are officiating next week. Don't think for a minute that someone for the OTHER TEAM won't discover that little fun fact some how. Never mind the "problems" created by interacting with a minor online. They are just reminding us to be careful.

While we do not typically have the JV problem listed, overtime is always considered to be an extension of the final quarter -- the overtime will only be three minutes in length. Therefore, it is not an official quarter contributing to the 5-quarter per day maximum permitted by the OHSAA.
