SPORTS | Jumping hijinks

The world-famous Harlem Globetrotters bring their hijinks to Prairie Capital Convention Center on Thursday, Jan. 2. Last year, fans were able to vote on new rules to add to the Globetrotter game. It was such a success in 2013 that they are doing it again this year. The 2014 Fans Rule World Tour will include new rules, such as Hot Hand Jersey, where a player wearing this jersey gets double the points when scoring. There’s also Make or Miss, where the quarter starts with two players on each team. When a team scores, a teammate may enter the court. When they miss, a teammate must leave the court. Fans can vote on their favorite, crazy rule by visiting www.harlemglobetrotters.com/rule. Tickets for the game are available by phone or via the PCCC website at springfieldpccc.com.
