I have had bad expierences with working one person games. You can tell the coaches and the players that you will not see everything, and that your gonna do the best you can under the circumstances. But, at soon as the game begins "EVERYTHING" that you have told them will get thrown out of the window! I had to do a high school play-off game last season by myself and it was the toughest game that I ever had to work. I was taught that if your in this situation, that if you work table side you will see the same things that the coaches see, I have found this to be helpful in some situations. And when you have plays were the ball goes out of bounds and you are not clear who has touched it last, you go to the alternating possesion arrow. You can catch hell doing games by yourself and unless you cannot get around it, don't do it!
