clockgirl gets clocked
 
Boys Fr game with under a minute to play in a well-contested game. Team A bringing ball from bc to fc. A1 passes ball up sideline tableside toward A2 when B1 gets a fingertip on it just enough to redirect it into the student clockgirl's forehead. I was cross-court going to new lead and got a real good look at blonde hair going everywhere as she completely bails out of the chair. Clock is still running as people on the table scramble to her aid. Partner had a good look at the clock as the ball went out, so we were able to correct that factor. Said clockgirl hops up smiling and embarrassed, ready to continue. I gave her a stern warning to stop the clock next time before she leaves the chair. Its good to be the R.:D

Good job reprimanding her. If people can't do the job, they shouldn't be there. She should get docked part of her pay for that game.

Clocks should come with a "dead-man's switch" so they automatically stop if the operator gets knocked off the chair.

Are you endorsing the blue font?

And stop giving the head table official (who's in the chain of command, of course) on this forum ideas. He'll be emailing the WIAA with this idea before lunchtime and forcing them to double their first aid kit's supply of digoxin.

Who knew operating the clock was such a life-threatening gig??

Post of the day. No blue font necessary here.

Serves her right for not having fast enough reflexes & for not paying as close of attention as she should have been.

I never stated where I was on the chain of command, for all anyone knows I'm the last man on the totem pole.

Anywho I keep my own supply of pain medications with me so no need.

We should make this play a standard part of every sub-varsity game. It would, at least, force student timekeepers to keep one eye on the game while they text.

Sorry, only officials can make such nominations. If someone with standing wishes to do so, feel free.

Friday night, my partner was administering an endline throw-in. Hands the ball to the thrower and backs out to start his count. Thrower releases a bounce pass toward the corner. Quick thinking defender sticks his foot out and kicks the ball. you guessed it! Nails my partner on the bridge of the nose, right between the eyes.

It was all I could do not to die laughing at him. http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...es/roflmao.gif

It's even funnier when he gets one in the nuts.

Hey - give her a break. She might need the job. Maybe she's the same blonde who got fired from her job in quality control at the M&M factory for throwing out all the W's.
