Thank you to referees who make themselves available to officiate on multiple sessions, especially Sunday through Thursday.

While referees may request to officiate at a particular venue, on occasion they may be asked to officiate at another venue due to referee numbers. The priority is to ensure all association games are officiated by two referees. So far in 2013 this process has worked well and thanks go to those referees who have co operated in this manner. If a referee is not prepared to travel to another venue, as most will do when playing, they may be left off the roster for that particular night.

Equally, referees may request to have the last game of a session off. We all like an early night but to be fair on all fellow referees on our session, it will not be possible to meet that request every week. As with the favourite venue request, if referees are not prepared to do their fair share of "last games", they may be left off the roster for that week all together.

Kilsyth Basketball's competitions run from early evening into the night. We all know that. The last time slot is generally 9.30 with an occasional 9.40 start. These games are completed before 10.20 so even a postie who starts work at 5.30am can manage the last game occasionally. If you are prepared to referee, you must be prepared to officiate the last game at times.

Your fellow referees look forward to sharing the sessions fairly with you.
