What is the most games that you have done in one weekend?
As much as I see and hear about umpires doing that many games in a certain time period, it is too many.

Five a day with a partner, only in emergencies, is about the max. There is no way any umpire can work as many games as some claim and give 100% of their game 100% of the time.

Umpires who say they "pace" themselves are not giving the teams 100%.

JMHO,
