Home team have score sheets filled out ahead of time. If pressed be sure to get all player numbers listed, and have a printed roster with numbers so scorekeeper may finish filling it in.
Have teams store bags etc. somewhere other than behind the bench (with a parent/parents) this will allow teams to clear the benches faster.
If in a facility with more than one gym, move quickly to the next court/gym for your next game.
Have team dressed and ready to go. Warm ups (if any) will be quick. Be organized.
Keep discussions with refs to a minimum (or not at all). Issues can be addressed quickly after the game, or by submitting questions to ask a ref on the CMBA website, or by filling out a game report.
