Longomatch – software at the camp in Antalya

Some of you may know me, as maybe we met already at some basketball event, and surely we did at Kuba’s camp, as I was there from the beginning when it all started in 2004.
Next week in Antalya for the 12th year in a row we will have the international referee camp for basketball officials REFEREE.PL. We have 55 referees from many countries and also different continents. During this camp we want to learn, prepare for the new season and get better. Therefore we will have also a group of great instructors, who are available to help us.
Again this year we will use during the games the communication equipment from the Blucom company. This is radio communication small, compact equipment, where the ear phone is connected with the microphone and hanged on the ear, and the cable leads to the tiny box with the power, which is connected to the referee’s arm, so you can easy run with it.
All three referees can hear each other and talk to each other from every place on the court. On top of that same piece is with the instructor so he can give instant feedback to the refs team.
This is working very well and it is helping to train young and potential referees, we simply use it to learn, it is helping a lot to listen about what happened on the court from the instructor, actually just in the moment that this is happening.
The same equipment is being used in football for the referees and in many different markets. For more details please check the webpage.
Blucom – Digitall radio communication with HD voice
Up to 5 people can talk simultaneously without to press a talk push button

Dear Campers!
My adventure with basketball has started when I was a young boy, many years ago. Few years of playing in a team showed clearly that I will not be another Michael Jordan and my coaches sent me for the referee’s course. And so last year I was celebrating already 20 years on the court as a basketball referee. Currently from 5 years I am officiating in the national league in Poland.
Our good friend from Scania Cup will come to REFEREE.PL in Turkey. Lahdo was already an instructor at the camp in Poland two years ago, but most of you know him for sure from Scania Cup, the camp for referees that takes place in Sweden over Easter holidays.
We are back with the campers stories! Next one is Veronika Vavrova from Czech. See below the intro.
