1) Yes, Alberts claim is compensable.

To determine whether the injury

suffered by an employee in the course of recreational activity is
compensable, such recreation has to be for the exclusive benefit of the
employee and was fostered and encouraged by the employer to the end of
efficiency of their service.

Furthermore, it should be noted that Board Resolution 93-08-0068 states

that Acts performed by an employee within the time and space limits of his
employment, to minister to personal comfort, such as satisfaction of his thirst,
hunger or other physical demands, or to protect himself from excessive cold,
shall be deemed incidental to his employment and injuries the employee
suffered in the performance of such acts shall be considered compensable and
arising out of and in the course of employment.

In the case at bar, the basketball game was intended for the physical
fitness of the crew so it can be said that such is for the exclusive benefit of the
employees and one of their physical demands. In line with this, the ball game
regularly played on the employers premises is considered recreational activity
incidental to the employees employment. Thus, the injury sustained by Albert
while playing basketball must be compensated even if he was not on duty at
that time because such activity is considered incidental to his employment.
