I think that you will really be surprised at how much different the mechanics are for the 1 man umpire system in nearly every situation you can imagine, than, say, the two man system.
1 man mechanics will really tire you out if you use the correctly and are having to work five games, as you stated you did. There is a lot, and I mean a lot, of hustle involved in applying them correctly.

I had it, but was looking in the wrong spot I have both the 2007 Rule CD and the ASA Mechanics ver 5-7. It just wasn't where I thought it was. The mechanics CD has a cool little interaction for 2 man and 3 man.
As for wearing me out, I was hurting. The last game I can know I wasn't hustling like I needed to be. There just wasn't an energy in the tank anymore. I still don't think I did a bad of a job though, and it really helped that one team was up 11-0 after the first inning.
