Chuck: Thanks for posting the pre-game notes. Like you, I am usually at the game site about an hour early. It is rare that I am not the first official to arrive. My association says "at least 30 minutes prior to game time and preferably 45-60 minutes". I also like your points about the non-calling official freezing the eyes and not chasing the ball. In my pre-game I talk about freezing the eyes, but keep moving into position. Good notes.
