Well folks, I am proud to announce my new web site. There is an officials message board and the whole nine yards. We are aggresively looking for gyms and officials to help us expand. Check out our site @ http://www.bestofthebestbasketball.com/

Please post a message (on our site)and let me know what you think.

I'm going psycho talking to myself on my message boards. Some kind soul please come see me.

I checked it out. Looks pretty good. Any tournaments coming to the Boston/New England area? Anyway, I registered and logged in, and several times I tried to reply to some posts, but my message would not go through. All I got was "invalid session" as a response. What's that?

nine0c, thanks for checking us out. Try posting to our site again, I'm not exactly sure where the problem is. The schedule posted to our site is being added to daily. I would love to get some info on gyms available in your area. If you could forward me any names or contact info, that would be great. I love Boston and think it would be great to have a tourney there.

Game Fees
 

What are you paying your officials for game fees? And what experience level are you looking for in officials?

Hoosier, Best of the Best furnishes gas and hotel 100%

Games are 20 min running clock (except for last two mins of each half)

2 man crews on smaller kids

3 man crew on open division

$20 per game per offical

Last year games lasted approximatly 1 hour

Most officials averaged 15 games per weekend

Games Start Saturday Pool Play(8-10 games)

Conclude on Sunday with tourney (6-8 games)

We are looking for varsity level or above officials, however, we are looking for new officals to get involved through our mentoring program. Let me know if you need more information.

Let me know if you ever get to Houston
 

Ditto for Atlanta........

If you are interested in working when we come to your city, please send me an email with your info. Please include what cities you are interested in working and how far you are willing to travel. I also want to thank everyone for checking out the site. We are trying to make some great things happen for young players as well as giving dedicated officals a means to work on their game in the off-season. I was really hoping JRut or Jurrasic Ref would sign up. I would really like to work with those guys. Wouldn't it be cool if we could have an event where all the officals from this board got to work togtether. Now there's an idea

I'm not so sure that's a good idea . . . might be a bit too much je ne sais quoi (presence, perhaps) in the gym.
