Harlem Globetrotters

The world famous Harlem Globetrotters will take fan
interaction to a new level when the 2014 “Fans Rule” World Tour comes to Wells
Fargo Arena in Des Moines on Sunday, April 6, 2014, at 2:00 p.m. Online voting
is now open at harlemglobetrotters.com/rule, where all fans can choose which
new game-changing rules they want to see in their hometown.

 The Globetrotters
were the first organization in sports and entertainment to let fans vote on
rules when the team introduced the concept last year.  Since the fan response was so overwhelming,
the team is doing it again – but with a major twist.

 The 2014 online
ballot includes three never-before-seen revolutionary rules:

 ·       Hot Hand Jersey–
Both teams will have a “Hot Hand Jersey” they can pass among each other.  The player who is wearing this jersey will
receive double points on made baskets.

 ·       Make or Miss– The quarter begins with
only two players on the court for each team. 
When a team scores, a teammate may enter the game.  When they miss, the player missing the shot
must leave the court, leaving his or her teammates shorthanded.

 ·       Trick Shot Challenge– Via three
challenge flags per team, each coach can challenge the other team to make a
trick shot.   If the team makes the trick
shot, they earn five points.  If they
miss, the other team receives five points.

With a roster showcasing stars such as Special K Daley, Big
Easy Lofton, Flight Time Lang, Hi-Lite Bruton and Dizzy Grant – plus female
stars TNT Maddox, T-Time Brawner and Sweet J Ekworomadu* – the Globetrotters’
one-of-a-kind family show features mesmerizing ball handling, an assortment of
trick shots, high-flying dunks and precise timing – all with an array of comedy
guaranteed to entertain the young and the young at heart.  After virtually every game, Globetrotter
stars remain on the court for autographs and photographs with fans.#
