One of the first of many things we are tackling when it comes to the World Police and Fire Games, is figuring out scripting times for the various games.  Even though we haven’t selected any announcers yet, we’re still focusing on which sports will need more dynamic announcers who can handle the fast-pace that some sports and announcing offer, and which sports will be more relaxed and allow for general announcements at any time.

Because of that, we’re putting together a list of sports, along with when announcements can be made.  Below is a list of some of the sports that athletes will participate in, along with best times to announce sponsor ads, upcoming events and more.

Basketball:  Between periods and timeouts

Dodgeball:  Between heats/rounds, games

Ice Hockey:  During icing stoppages, during stoppages after a long shift (this takes some finesse and understanding of the game), between periods
