The Mid-American Conference has mandated that for the 2010-2011 season teams leaving the floor in Anderson Arena must do so on a team by team basis. This protocol

is similar to what the Central Collegiate Hockey Association implements with teams exiting one at a time.

Therefore, at the conclusion of the first half, the visiting team will depart the floor

followed by BGSU. Be prepared for BGSU game management and/or game officials to step out onto the court and direct you back into your locker room.

Please keep in mind that this protocol will not hinder your team in any way nor should it

affect your ability to have the full 15-minute halftime.

Your cooperation is appreciated.
