Look at it this way - worst case, we have a gym for the 3 hours. Let's see if we can get lucky (well, KC will but that's another story for another day)

Or, worse case we just start the afterparty early. For those of us that need to, we can still tell our significant other that we're still playing (although mine is 2000 miles away so she isn't going to care).

Did you find out who booked the other half?

It could be for Luvabulls try-outs or something of that nature....

But I'd assume it's a 7 year old's birthday party.

It's park district basketball...they say it was scheduled 3 months in advance...THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME EVERY TIME I CALLED?! I CALLED EVERY WEEK TO DOUBLE CHECK!!

I feel sorry for those little kids that get run into by Zach.

Is there a divider that we can put up to avoid any lawsuits?

oh dear lord...I'm pretty sure something like that's going to happen.

We'll see what they say about the giant cooler too...I'm not saying don't bring it, but it will be interesting...

If we set a date for Hoops 3 ahead, we can scour the suburban park districts. Most require 2 weeks advance (found that out quickly). I can also talk to an old buddy at Holy Cross and see if they let anyone use the gym. I was told there are a few groups that do use it.

Suburban gyms ARE far superior...but it would have to still be close cause most of the guys are coming from the East...

I don't know how to feel. Reading this thread through from the beginning was a firestorm of emotions.

I need a moment.

The fieldhouse in Westchester might be available, if they could find a staff member to stay for a few hours (they'd have to call around and check).

Is there anyone here from Westchester? I think it'd be pretty cheap if someone from Westchester actually did the calling.... (708) 865-8200

Westchester is out because they're very unsure if they can get someone to stay past 2 PM and I think at this point with the event coming so soon we'll have to do Hiawatha. It is cheaper ($60/hr) but we're playing for free anyways.

Hiawatha it is.

(I do appreciate the help, Killer and I think we'll look into having Hoops 3 at that gym)

So I guess it goes without saying that we won't be playing 5 on 5 half court. RIGHT?!?!?

this is the resolution. We are playing in Hiawatha Gym from 1PM-4/5PM for free. That's the good news. The bad news is from 2PM-4PM, we will be going half court, which has two hoops but the court is obviously smaller. This is the best resolution I can come up with at this point. Crisis averted, I will change the heading of this thread and all Hoops 2 commentary can resume in the 1-26 thread. Sorry for the inconviences, fellas. Lesson learned...never trust the Chicago Park District.

I can think of a lot worse things than playing half court for two hours. Thanks for doing all the calling, CoF...you're a good man!

I've found that 3 on 3 is the best for half court. But we will probably have too many people for that.

And seeing that it is now free, they're are going to be a lot more people now, you know the Doug and Franks of the world....maybe we can get a Pi Theory/Passive Agressive collab as the halftime entertainment.

yeah, that's really going to be the problem. But bear in mind, while we only have half the court, we do have a full court going the opposite way. Does that change your mind at all?

So the problem was solved by accepting the fact that the problem is alright?

Mission Accomplished!

It'll be cool. We will figure it all out when we get there. Maybe we can convice the people on the other side of the court to leave... :eye:

Since it will be two halve-courts b/w 2 - 4, where will I sit my tired ass during my breaks? :scratch:

We won't be playing half-court. They have baskets on the sides of the main court, so we will still be running, but width-wise instead of length-wise.

By shortening the court you've taken away my only possible advantage. Thanks a bunch. Any sucky basketball play on my end now falls squarely upon your shoulders.
