BW RULES
- We can wear shorts if you choose to.
- 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.
