So we've been instructed to start the game with a technical foul. I've got a game there later this week. Not looking forward to it.

A reminder for rookies: Technical fouls for illegal uniforms (including illegal numbers) are not charged to the team, but are charged directly to the head coach. If a team member participates as a player while wearing an illegal uniform, then a direct technical foul is charged to the head coach, who will lose the coaching box privilege for the remainder of the game. This infraction is penalized when discovered, and the team member with the illegal uniform may participate without further penalty and is not required to change the number. A maximum of one technical foul shall be charged directly to the head coach regardless of the number of offenders.

The teams wearing their uniforms as they were last night was ok'd as the game location change happened very last minute.

I found out about the game location change ten minutes before starting this thread.

It was a bit interesting that the hosting school team was wearing their away uniforms while the visitors were in their home uniforms.

Of course the games were supposed to be played at the visitors' school until the power outage happened.

For book & scoreboard purposes, the hosting school was the home team (although they were in their darks).

Apparently, from what CHSLadyEagle told me, they used to do a uniform switch midway through the season.

I had a "Power Outage" game last year during a Regional Semi. The power went out during warm ups and gym was packed. Fortunately the MIDDLE SCHOOL was on a different line and the game was moved. Gave SRO a whole new meaning.
I had one game overseas postponed b/c a water main break and we had a nice little water fall onto the court.
Also had one game called due to a riot. After a particularly hard foul against a player, the 3rd of the game against the same player, the fans rushed the court and were met by fans from the other team. The army had to be called in and it actually made a blurb on CNN.

Let me guess, one team was shooting nothing but 3s for warm-ups & hitting every one? :D

Was this on an Army base?

No. But it was in a "rough part of town" so to speak!

I'm assuming Army National Guard, then. Should have assumed that to begin with when you said "riot."

Actually, it was the IDF that showed up. Of course, the players were long gone before they arrived!

Ah, I'm pretty sure Posse Comitatus doesn't apply to the IDF. :D
