Interesting rules

[jTheUmp]

A kiddie tournament I worked my first year of officiating had these rules:
1) 20-minute running-time halves (no stoppages in the last minute or two minutes like I've normally seen for running-time games). Fair enough.

2) REQUIRED substitution stoppages at 15- 10-, and 5- minute marks in each half. That is, at these points, the horn would sound and the clock would stop, regardless of what was happening on the court. (player is shooting a free throw? Too bad, now your replacement takes over and shoots the free throw).

Yes, I asked if they really meant "substitutions at the first dead-ball opportunity after the allotted time has passed"... nope.
