Start Times: Your earliest/latest

[rockyroad]

Earliest was 9:00 a.m. At a tournament...latest was the same day at the same tournament. Tipoff was supposed to be at 9:00 p.m., but the 5:00 game went to OT and the 7:00 game went to double OT. We tossed it up at 10:15.

If you showed up at 8:30pm for your 9:00pm game, you'd've known it was quite behind schedule and you could have gone home for another hour.

I wish.

Tournament was about 3 hours from home...We had to be on site 90 minutes prior to our game. Walked in at 7:30 and teams were still warming up for the 7:00 game. On top of having to be there at 7:30 a.m. For the first game.

My latest was a game that was scheduled to start at 21:30 but didn't start till 22:10. My earliest was 12:00 (noon), although we occassionally have games that start at 10:00.

In the off-season I always ask for the first 3 games on Saturday and/or Sunday morning for AAU. They usually start at 8:00am.

9am on Saturday mornings, latest, at a tourney was nearly 9p and the game was an hour and a half away from home.

It's fairly standard for our local kids rec league to start 3rd grade games at 8:00am on Saturdays due to limited gym availability.

Many years ago I worked a boys HS rec weekend tournament and the final game started at 11:00pm on Sunday night. We didn't finish the game until after midnight. The sponsor then took my partner and me out to Denny's for a snack. I got home about 1:30am. Fortunately, (or unfortunately depending on your point of view) my wife was asleep.

Not totally unusual for an off-season, not school game. I do not think I have ever had a game earlier than 9:00 for a school game. Usually do not work early Saturday games so I could be wrong and not remember.
