Reffing 13 games this weekend at the Oswego East Wolfpack youth basketball tournament. Over ninety teams, ten basketball courts.

Only youth tournament I know that posts Sportsmanship Rules, and they mean it...

Sportsmanship:
• Any player judged guilty of fighting or fouling with deliberate intent to injure will be ejected and suspended from next game.
• Referees are instructed to have ZERO tolerance for foul or abusive language from players, coaches, and or fans. They are instructed to issue immediate technical fouls and if necessary, ejections. This includes language not directed at referees, as well as language between coach and his/her own players.
• Coaches are responsible for parent’s behavior and may be issued technical fouls if language/behavior on part of parents warrants.
• Failure on part of coach, player or fan to promptly leave gym upon ejection will result in forfeiture of game. Tournament staff will assist refs when necessary and have the authority to eject fans when necessary. NO PROTEST ALLOWED – Referee’s decisions are final.

Reffing six today and six tomorrow! Be a ref, make the call...
