Christmas Tourneys
Get to see a team from Wash. DC today vs a local team. Always fun to see and work teams from other areas. I have an outstanding partner too. Looking forward to the game....tipoff at 4pm Pacific.

Assignor has me loaded up with 5 games in 4 days....going to be sore by Sunday.

All 2-person?

Best part of working this week is that all my games are 3-person. All of them should be, but I live in a place that still uses stone knives and bearskins.

Yes...all 2 person. We're probably 2-3 years away from 3 person. We've introduced it for opening day Jamborees (4 teams playing round-robin quarters...6 quarters total with 3 man mechanics) but that is it at this time.

They are from the DC Catholic league, maybe the best high school league in the country.

No thoughts in your area on 3-person in special tournaments like this?

Enjoy!!

PS - I have a local Holiday Tourney semi-final game Friday night that's supposed to start at 9:15 PM. What time do you think it will ACTUALLY get started?

I watched a couple of tournament games in NC tonight. One featured a crew including BktBallRef.

We had the #4 team in the state tonight. They won 80-40. Only up 8 after a quarter, the second quarter was 25-9.

On a down note, the teams were a combined 11-26 from the line.

Nope...the state officially does not endorse 3-person yet. They're starting to open up to it in very limited ways but it will probably only be a reality when state budgets improve.

As for this particular tourney, they're pretty tight on what they are willing to pay for. We bring in a few officials from around the state and they don't even pay for their lodging.

Cam -

For years they have played second fiddle to Dematha, but in the last 5 yrs they have evened the playing field. Coach is a class act.... Is this the tourney with all
Jesuit schools....

Would love to know how it went....

In March they will go to a tourney in Frostburg, Md. and face the likes of Dematha
the Baltimore Catholic League champ and a few other Cath. schools. It use to involve Philly champ and runner up. Back in the 80's and 90's was as good as any
tourney in the country.

Have worked it 4 times and was one of the highlights of my officiating career....

It was a fun game. The local team gave them a good fight but was just outmatched a little at each position and ended up losing by 14 (a little closer than I anticipated).
