Officiating Basketball Games in Mabolo Gym , Cebu City

Good day hivers specially to all admins in this community .
I have to share mostly on my activities which is basketball officiating. This time in Mabolo Gym ,Cebu City .

There are lot of basketball leagues this summer . In Mabolo , they have this yearly SK (Sangguniang Kabataan ) Basketball League with different categories , such as midget , Junior , and senior category .
From my home , Bankal, Lapu-Lapu City , I need to travel to Mabolo Gym for around 14.5 kilometers . I need to advance travel for 1 hour and 30 minutes in going to the venue due to traffic congestion of Mandaue City.

Barangay Mabolo consist of 3 sitios such as Sitio Regla , Sitio Magtalisay, and Sitio Sinulog . These areas are prone to flood during heavy rainfall.
Mobolo is a crowded Barangay with has current population based on census 2020 estimated around 21,600 . The Barangay location is very strategic which has a lot of landmarks very closed to it such SM City Cebu, Cebu Business Park , Port and many hotels along its location .

The schedule of their games is 4 pm but they started the first game at 5 pm. They have 6 scheduled games . Last night , May 8 , the last game was overtime and ended at 12 midnight. We the referees were getting tired for the game was so intense .
The Mabolo gym also gain every game schedule for they have entrance fee of 10 pesos per head . There are lot of attendants mostly every game specially if the matched teams are very good and exciting to watch . Last night attendance of viewers maybe around 500 to 600 , so they collected entrance fee of roughly 6000 pesos more or less.

The remaining last 2 games were very closed . Referees' decision must be accurate for the players to be satisfied after game.
Game management is very important in every crucial game. It is very risky for referees specially if the audiences are betting.
Last night we were very thankful that all six games were successfull without commotions. But we went home so tired because the last game was overtime and ended @ 12:30 AM.

These are all I can share for today . Till my next blog friends .
I used canva to edit the lead pictures.
God bless us all.
