I have never heard any complaints from my fellow officials. This is the way that it's always been and none of us know any better.

That is what I kind of figured. Officials around here would have a problem with that (the area I currently live) because they are not used to that kind of procedure. Where I started officiating, it was not totally uncommon to work two games in one night, but officials did what they could to not work both games. We would bring what we called a "runner" to work the JV game and the varsity officials would either alternate quarters or halves. Sometimes officials would just get two officials to work the JV game and pay the "runners" out of what the school paid the assigning official. It is all about what you are used to I guess.
