Those days of ball are over for Roger The Dodger Spilde. Although he has retired as a professor, his new lifestyle has not taken him away from noon ball. Spilde takes it to the hoop almost every session. The Chairman must uphold his duties. Unwritten, or rather, uncommon rules are another aspect of the game.
Players substitute and take water breaks only after completion of the game.
The Fast Break Rule applies when teams are uneven. The group also used to implement the Hockey Rule which meant players could not cross mid-court until two defenders were across the center line. This took away the advantage from faster players. The younger players hated this rule since usually they were quicker. Recently the group abolished the rule.
