to consist of two 19 minute halves.
Clock stops on all whistles and restarts when the ball is touched
in bounds. Teams will have two time outs per
game and one added time out
for overtime. Overtime is decided by
the first team to score seven points. After an offensive
team timeout, there is the option to
take the ball out at half court vs. the baseline. During
the last two minutes of a game both
teams will shoot one and one on defensive
fouls. Upon 10 or more team fouls, the opposing team will be awarded
two foul shots. All players entering the game must wait at mid-court
until a whistle is blown or score keeper horn sounds and play is
stopped. 2_Line-ups including last names and #'s are to be turned in to the scorekeeper before each game. Ratings are to be given for missing players and subs. All players on a team are to wear the same color shirt with a number. Managers may sign and photo the final score sheet for file. 3_All players are to play at least 16 minutes per game. All players are to sit a minimum of six minutes each half. Any participant that is ejected from a game cannot play in theirs or any other teams next scheduled game or the succeeding game will be a team forfeit. If the ejected player is rated 9.5, the sub can be 8.5. If rated 9.0, sub can be an 8.0. If 8.5, 8.0, or 7.5, sub can be 7.5. Throwing a punch or fighting is a 3 game suspension with committee review for possible expulsion. 4_No sub is required however attempts should be made to acquire one. A substitute player may play a 2nd game for a full time player of similar rating on another team. If no sub is available for a missing player a full time player may sub in and play a 2nd game for someone of similar or higher rating. In the event that a player is permanently replaced for the season, the successor player shall pay the pro-rata share of league fees. If a player has an injury that may prevent him from playing in his next game, he must advise his manager at least one day in advance of his playing status. No “stand by game time subs” are permitted for possible pre-injured player replacement. 5_All
players are to provide full name, phone number and email address
and to update if there are changes. All fee balances are to be
paid no later than the first game. The total 2022-2023 fee is

Game 1 Howdy pardners, Spring was in ther air as Silver went head to head with Blue in this one. Silver only had six players despite using three subs. They hung tough and finished the first half only down by one. Blue was able to hit five 3's while Silver kept shooting blanks in the second half. Blue pulled away and took an 11 point win, 49-38. With only two regular season games left Blue has to hope Lt Blue loses both their games to leave an opening for first place. Unless there's a shake up in the standings Silver will have a rematch with Blue in the first round of the playoffs. Maybe Silver just didn't want to show the Blue team what they're capable of.

Game 2 Green showed up with a formidable lineup, including several high caliber subs. Fortunately for Lt Blue they also showed up bigger than normal due to yet another sub. Green and Lt Blue hit each other hard and often. The Lt Blue team usually don't foul very often - on this night they made an exception. It seemed they didn't like each other very much. The refs called 18 fouls on Lt Blue and another 12 on the Green team. It seemed like Lt Blue was saying "I'm not going to hit you, I'm not going to hit you - Yeah I'm going to hit you." Lt BLue started hitting 3 pointers and Green was in a "Pick your poison position". Green converted on 11 first half free throws and were still down by 14 at intermission. Lt Blue continued to pour it on the the second half and won 82-60 in a game that felt much closer than the score. Lt Blue felt Green, with their lineup, could have beaten anyone that night . . . except Lt Blue. Green may very well be facing a rematch with them in the first game of the playoffs. Time to round up a posse and do some serious plotting to turn things around.

Game 3 Unlike the the other guys Gold and Purple decided they didn't want to touch each other in the first half despite playing man to man. Each team had three fouls called on them. Purple was missing the leader of their gang but still managed to cling to a one point lead at the break. Gold decided they just weren't going to allow any free throws so they never fouled in the second half. Purple on the other had decided to change their strategy and make contact everytime down the court. It was bound to be a nail bitter even though Purple was called for 12 second half fouls. With several seconds left Purple was down by two and called a time out. They decided to go for the win and devised a play to open up a three point shot. The play worked fairly well but the shot didn't go down. Gold was fouled and sent back to the free throw line. Gold was able to wrangle up a three point win, 48-45. The Purple team manager was glad to see his team play competitively and didn't throw any chairs. Gold and White remain tied for third and if it stays that way Gold will take the spot based on the regular season results between them. Purple and Silver remain tied for 6th and Purple holds the advantage based on their head to head games.

Game 4 In this battle for third place Red was without their leading scorer and White jumped on them early. Both teams played conservatively in regards to the fouls. Not so much in the way of shooting. White's dead eye sharpshooters rained nine 3's in the opening session (six by one player) and bolted out to a 36-25 halftime lead. Red did lassoo the outside shooters in the second half but couldn't make any headway as they went down to defeat 59-43. Red's manager said "There's always next week". White remains tied with Gold for third while Red acted like a tumble weed and fell down to fifth. It will probably come down to the last night to decide their outcomes in the standings.
If you'd like to add something to the recaps my phone number is available from your managers. Individual names do not appear in the recaps. I'd prefer text messages.
