The Roundball Rumble “No Zone” Tournament and Conqueror Basketball League (CBL) makes for a “Super” weekend, Friday night, Saturday and Sunday, February 7, 8 and 9. Please text your availability to Brent at 402-618-2859 or Jim at 402-25-1740.

We are getting an early start gathering availability for everyone. Games will be played Friday night at 6,7,8,9 pm. Saturday games will run from 8 am until about 6 pm. Then, with Sunday’s big game starting around 5:30, last games will be scheduled no later than 3 pm, meaning everyone can be home by around 4 or so.

Once again, parking continues to be a timing issue at Union Bank and Trust Sports Complex2 South. It is taking 10 or 15 minutes to find close parking at the venue. Please don’t cut it too close and put your partner in a tough spot working games solo. Come early, please.

Referee schedules for the Midwest Winter Hoops Showdown and Conqueror Basketball League (CBL), Friday, Saturday and Sunday, January 31, February 1 and 2, have been released. Please text your confirmations to Brent at 402-618-2859 or Jim at 402-215-1740.

One important reminder on parking at the Union Bank and Trust Sorts Complex — please give yourself plenty of time to arrive at the facility and find a parking spot. You cannot expect to just show up 5 minutes before game time and be on time.

Looking ahead, the weekend of Friday night, Saturday and Sunday, February 7, 8 and 9 will be Super Bowl weekend. Plans are for ALL games to be done by 4 pm on that Sunday.

When you confirm, please text the day, venue, times and court you are assigned. Thank you!

Please note, our most requested times are Friday nights and Saturday and Sunday mornings. We are not able to honor all of those requests.

Referee Schedules for Winter Conqueror Basketball League (CBL) and the Winter Hoops Challenge, scheduled this coming weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, January 17, 18 and 19, are being released a few hours later than usual today. Please text your confirmations to Brent at 402-618-2859 or Jim at 402-215-1740.

Due to the past busy weekend, the actual Winter Hoops Challenge schedules for the teams have yet to be released. Therefore, there could be some slight changes to the final referee grids.

I also have some notes from last weekend and weekends moving forward.

Please work the courts you have been assigned each weekend. Changing courts can cause errors in payroll and make it very difficult to sort out problems that could occur in the games. Jim and I have to be able to reach officials working specific courts.

Also, please be aware that due to the Martin Luther King holiday next Monday, January 20, pay thru Gusto could be delayed one day. Please plan accordingly.

Super Bowl weekend we will have CBL games and a tournament. Games on Super Bowl Sunday, February 9, will end early so that everyone can be done and ready for the game, parties, etc.

Thanks for helping us get off to a great start this winter. Your hard work and dedication is appreciated!
