Please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your start time. If there is a last minute problem, and you will be late or absent, it's your responsibility to find a substitute, or let the two referees working the court prior to you know. Review the FIBA and tournament rules if you are unsure about something. If you or your partner make a call, and the outcome is questionable, meet in the middle and talk before making the final call. Better to be right and delay the game a bit, than wrong and have problems. Have a 2 minute pre-game with your partner about how you are going to work the game. Have some fun, talk to the players, coaches and audience. Doran or Adam will be at RISE and UofC for most of the time. Thank - you.
