Officials vs. Cancer Campaign

Week of Jan. 23-28 2012

Use your pink or white whistles and lets get those contributions rolling in!

Please print this off and use it as a guide for your game announcers…

You will notice that the officials for tonight’s game are wearing either pink or white whistles. This is part of a week-long, nationwide campaign called “Officials versus Cancer.”  The campaign is designed to raise the cancer awareness.

If you haven’t been touched by cancer, chances are that you will be someday, either personally or through a loved one, friend, or a colleague.

On behalf of those affected by cancer, the American Cancer Society, Officials vs. Cancer, the Colorado high school basketball officials association, Colorado Board #4, and all officials from around the country we would like to thank everyone for joining in this fight against cancer!

Those wishing to make a contribution can contact your local American Cancer Society office, your local Colorado high school basketball association chapter at www.denverbasketballofficials.com, or any Denver area official.

Thank you!

The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) is pleased to announce the launch of its first rules application for mobile devices. Effective today, the 2011-12 NFHS Basketball Rules App is available in the Android Market. This great new resource combines the NFHS Basketball Rules Book and Basketball Case Book into one searchable mobile app and is a tremendous companion piece to the printed books. Additionally, the material is cross-referenced to display related content.

The NFHS rules app, developed in partnership with ArbiterSports, is available at this time for Android devices only; however, the iPhone/iPad version will be released soon. In addition, apps for NFHS rules in other sports will be coming later this year and into 2012.

Visit the Market online today to purchase the 2011-12 NFHS Basketball Rules App.

If you’ve got extra uniform pieces lying around why not do something productive with it???  

With 54 new officials taking the class  we’ve got a lot of folks that would like your unused shirts and pants and anything else you’re looking to get rid of.  In particular we would like non-patched black & white stripes for all these newbies, but post what you’ve got and we’ll see what happens!

The clothes should be in decent condition and its up to you if you want to sell it, trade it or give it away.  Simply click on EQUIPMENT EXCHANGE to the right and post your ad.  Please let us know when someone has claimed it so we can take it down. It’s that simple.

If you prefer to give it away, get your items to an area director and we’ll dsitribute it at class!

CHSAA Tournament Schedule 9 -12 Mar 2011

Because of our AWESOME and OUTSTANDING members we are excited to announce that we didn’t just MEET our goal for Officials vs Cancer…WE BLEW IT AWAY!!!!

As of  Feb 18……. $10,321!!!!!

We can’t thank you all enough for your generosity and your support of this incredible program.  Thanks to Nicole, Troy and the Committee heading this up as we surpassed our $8500 goal!

Way to show Colorado Board #4 and

IAABO National what a team Area 8 can be!

We are trying to make it easier for officials to find replacements for their games. 

ON THE RIGHT under ABOUT AREA 8 you will see an item called TURNBACK. 

CLick on this and then post a comment to that area.

WE WILL NOT post anything for you, we will only take them down once the game is filled if you let us know.

Do not abuse this service as every turnback is a negative check mark in the assigners eyes unless it is truly a dire and unavoidable circumstance.
