Let's say school A is designated the home school for this match-up. That means they have the two varsity games. So on a weekday (like a Friday) at school A we would have a GJV @ 3:45PM, GV @ 5:15, and BV @ 7PM. School B would then have the BF, GF, and BJV in some order at the same times at their gym. The order of the GV and BV games never changes (they could flip them, but they don't), but the location and the order of playing the other four games rotates from year to year. For example, one year the BF game may preceed the two varsity games, but the next year it may be the GJV.
Since there are only three games at any one site, you see why your proposed plan would not work? Also many people are not available for that early 3:45 afternoon game!

You're right, I did misunderstand. We have some schools that do things the way you are describing here.
But what I was thinking of is a school here in the Portland area which is very small, and a long ways from most of the schools they play. Here's how they schedule everyone in. The visiting boys and girls, JV and Varsity (they don't have frosh teams), all pile onto one bus, at about 2 pm, and drive to the school I'm thinking of. JV girls get both locker rooms (visitors in one, home in the other) and then warm up, and their game starts at 3:00. The JV girls go back into their locker rooms at half-time for their "talk" and while they play their second half, JV boys get the locker rooms. When JV girls are finished, they get the locker rooms, JV boys come out onto the floor to warm up and play their first half, starting at 4:30. JV boys get the locker rooms for their half-time, then Varsity girls use it during the JV boys second half. And so on. Varsity girls play at 6:00, boys at 7:30. Anyone that's not playing is in the stands studying or distracting others.
Refs have to either try to juggle into this schedule, or use the bathrooms in the main building. We usually get scheduled in one crew to do the two JV games, and then one crew for Varsity girls, and one crew for Varsity boys. But it could work to use just two crews total.
