Tipoffs for ELITE on Saturday 3/1 finalized

2/27/2008 8:00PM

UPDATE: SOME GAMES ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED BELOW HAVE SWITCHED COURTS. PLEASE REFER TO THE SEASON HOME PAGE OR THE NEWER ARTICLE THAT ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE.

FEBRUARY 27, 2008 (8:00PM) -- So here's the address for the ELITE gym on Saturday (on Sunday we will add up to 2 more courts for simultaneous playoff games -- more on this later)...

Nogales High School
Courts 1 and 2

Google Satellite Map of Nogales HS

The only change we made to the schedule previously posted was to swap the out-of-town teams AZDJ vs Stkn and the local teams LBBR vs Shox at 10am and 9am. So now, insert the first tipoff at 9:00AM and you get this...

Yeah, yeah, I know most of your times suck. It's hard to deal with all the schedule requests as well as getting your three games within a "reasonable" amount of time -- avoiding back-to-backs too, of course! And remember we only have two gyms with 12 hours each to work with. If we had more gyms to work with, then maybe it'd be easier to get your games in your desired timeframe.

I had a long talk with Stockton's veteran Sunny Margate, who has also played with the Hotshots and even the Dream League team in the past. Sunny's been there, done that. He has valuable input and of course he and Stockton would rather not play an early morning game. Well, maybe next time we will stick to a 2-game pool play (which is less prone to schedule fluctuations), then have a massive 16-team winner-take-all bracket.

But this weekend, due to previously arranged gym commitments, we will give all teams 3 pool games and then split it off into two brackets. At least your chances of winning a trophy are 2 in 16 instead of 1 in 16. And you do get that "extra" game: 3 pool games means 4 games guaranteed -- that's pretty good too.

I'll come back later to input the above schedule into our SCHEDULE/SCORES page, and give an in-depth preview of what I know about each team.
