Would you access a 'T'?

Interesting. I can tell you in the areas I've worked (3 metro areas in 2 states), the varsity games all have start times assigned. Even if they're tentative, they're still scheduled.

So, if they have a quick JV game do they wait for the scheduled start or do they start early?

In these parts, if the JV game ends early, they will start the game at the schedule game. If that means a 25 minute wait, then so be it. Something about parents being mad that the game didn't start at the scheduled time and missing game time.

Never heard of that one
Being 1 hour early generally means you're 1.5 hours early in these parts.

Wait, is that Lombardi time?

LOL! Not purposely.

I know one thing, it sure sucks to fight through traffic to make it to a site at 6 just to see the 5:40 left in the 1st Q...

You should be working behind my JV games. I've only had 3 games go to double bonus all year. (I will now be cursed with double overtimes for the rest of the season.)

Interesting. I wish they did that here. I can't tell you how many times I've walked into a varsity game half-way through the first quarter (to watch of course).

Sounds like an official who knows how to sort out incidental contact from illegal contact. I hope not, knock on wood!

They wait.

Here it is the same as what Eastshire is saying. JV games usually start at 6:00, followed by the V game. They always put 15 minutes up after the JV game and we go off of that.
