Calling someone on Tuesday for a Saturday game is a bit premature. Call me Thursday or Friday, fine. But Tuesday?

I make all my calls for the week on Sunday afternoon while I'm watching the NFL. Nobody has a game, so I get most guys/gals at home. If there's any uncertainty on Sunday, I can follow up with a phone call or email later in the week. But it's just much more convenient for me to make 5 or 6 phone calls at once, rather than remember to call throughout the week, when I'm already out at games most nights.
Doesn't make it right or wrong; it's just how I do it.

Chuck,
I know several guys here that do it that way too. While it doesn't really serve as a reminder that you have a game the next day or that evening, as a call at work would, it does get the initial contact made. Out here where travel arrangements frequently need to be made by the officials, the advance notice is even preferable.
I guess a reminder call could also be made.
But hey, I'm lucky if the guys that I work with call me at all before the game, and even more fortunate if they ever speak to me again after!
