Game location changed due to power outage

For all the games tonight, the actual home team wore their away jerseys while the away team wore their home jerseys.

The other game that was scheduled to be played will be at the other school now.

Found our at our last meeting that we have a public high school varsity team that wears orange home jerseys, without any waiver from the state interscholastic sports governing body. 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.

In our area this happens all the time in baseball..."can't play at your field? OK come to ours and vice versa"

Flood. Gym was inundated with water & mud about 3 feet deep. Home games were relocated to other schools (usually a neutral site) for an entire 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?

Was this on an Army base?

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.
