The Michigan Daily-Thursday, November 30, 1978-Page 9 III scoreboard This week's results 1 Pre-holiday tournament: a tune-up for IM cagers By DAVE JOHNSON As Mother Nature blankets our fields with snow, it is time again to seek the shelter of indoor facilities for recreational sports. And as always, we can count on the Intramural Sports Department for providing us with organized ac- tivities. FOR THE NEXT three weeks, the IM Sports Department is conducting a Pre-Holiday Basketball Tour- nament. Approximately 90 teams have entered the tournament. Most will also participate in the winter- term basketball program. "This tournament," says IM Assistant Director Sandy Sanders, "provides each team with an oppor- tunity to familiarize themselves with each other in preparation for the regular season come January." In order to keep the tournament competitive, each team plays two preliminary games which determine its classification; A, B, C or D. Teams winning both preliminary games oppose each other in the "A" bracket, as do teams who split or lose both games in their respective divisions. From that point it is single elimination. At the end, all four divisional winners will receive awards. SINCE MOST of these teams in- tend on playing as a unit throughout the winter term, this Pre-Holiday Tournament will indicate to all how good or bad they really are-and should help in selecting whether to participate in competitive recreational divisions next term. Sanders, who also is supervisor of IM officials, said the tournament will be played under Michigan High School Athletic Association rules. In the past, there have been several modifications from the MHSAA guidelines to speed up the game, such as removing the jump ball and awarding it to the defending team. Since many student officials in- tend on officiating high school and college contests upon graduation, Sanders- will adhere to all MHSAA rules. Otherwise the officials are cheated out of employing the same rules which are utilized in high school and college athletics. "THE JUMP BALL is an intricate part of the game," says Sanders. "It takes a lot of practice to admipister it fairly. Since it's used throughout high school and college, to omit it from IM sports would be cheating our officials from the expertise which they can learn." Each game will consist of 20- minute running halves, with two of- ficials on hand to toot the whistles. Intramural basketball action star- ts at 5:40 each night and continues through 10:00.
