It's that time again - almost

[Mark Padgett]

I forgot to mention some of the other reasons I really like this program. They play 22 minute running halves. Clock stops only in the last minute of the first half regardless of the score and in the last two minutes of the second half only if the point differential is 10 or less. Teams get three 60 second timeouts for the game - no 30s. Halftime is just two minutes. Coaches must address the referees as "sir" or "ma'am" at all times.

OK - I was just kidding about that last one. BTW - they allow players six fouls before fouling out.

Their rules also mention something called "overtime - two minutes" - whatever that means.
