I used film cameras, 1D, 1D II. 5D II and now the 5D III and I use the same settings for shooting under dismal HS lights at night. Minimum 1/500th sec.--faster if possible, but 1/500th is pretty decent, aperture wide open using a 300 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8. AI Servo. AWB. jpegs since I'm always on tight deadlines and transmitting from the field.
I keep fiddling with focus points--sometimes using one center point, sometimes with a nine-cross-point matrix with the 5D III raised up to around the player's faces (don't know if the 1D III does this.) ISO 1600-3200 generally.
These are my base settings for all sports except tennis, where I make sure to shoot at 1/1000th sec. minimum.
