nnual Norwich Family Y Gus Macker 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament only days away, organizers of the event are scrambling to find enough “busters” and referees to monitor each game.

Gus Busters, or game officials, are a necessary component in making sure all games run as smoothly as possible. They are needed mainly to keep the peace in each game, said the Y’s Macker tourney director Tom Revoir.

“We are in trouble – more than we’ve ever been. Each year, this is always a problem. Usually by this time, we’re all set, but we’re just not this year,” said Revoir.
