Officials,

It’s playoff time and I wanted to give you a few reminders!

First off, call your partners early and make arrangements to be at your game site an hour and half before tip off. If you can, ride together and spend good time on pregame.

We want to represent our chapter as best as we can. These games are job interviews for the next round of the playoffs so it is highly important that you represent the chapter well. Whoever is the R, call the coaches 24 hours before the game and let them know that you’ve received the game assignment and that your crew will be there an hour and half before the tip.

Finally, during playoffs, we step up our arrival attire a little bit. For Bi-District, Area and Regional Quarterfinals games, we have a business casual dress code. No tennis shoes. Polos are only acceptable as long as they are tucked in with slacks/khakis. Jeans are only acceptable if worn with a button-up shirt and sport coat or jacket. Error on the side of being overdressed instead of underdressed and communicate with your crew what you’ll be wearing.

I’ve included a document here if you have any questions about our Playoff Dress Code.

This is the most fun time of the year. So enjoy it! Drive safe! And as always…we want to be the BEST TEAM ON THE FLOOR! So let’s do whatever we can to be the best.

Best team on the floor,

Caleb Smith
