Each team MUST have a CLOCK OPERATOR or a SCOREKEEPER at the table at each game. The CLOCK OPERATOR is the HOME team, and the SCOREKEEPER is the AWAY team.  Make sure the board is accurate!  The first team on the schedule is the HOME TEAM.  If there are no SCOREKEEPERS, then no one fouls out, and the CLOCK OPERATOR will only keep track of team fouls.

FORFEIT TIME:

·         Each game will start 5 minutes after the preceding game. If a team is not ready, the clock will be set at 16 minutes and run until the team is READY TO PLAY! Every minute a team is late, 2 points will be added to the opposing team’s total. The game will start at that point in time. Be 30 minutes early!

Game scores are updated every 3 hours at teammacstorm.com. Winning coaches, make sure you give your score, the winning team first (ex. F9-51   F8-48), to the site manager at the admission table.

Playoff games on Sunday will be updated during the day. Late games Saturday. We should have playoff teams set by 9 pm. Check the schedule to see where you play on Sunday.
