Maybe easier because there are fewer whistles, but high level games are where your game management skills are what separate the good official from the great official. Communicating with partner(s), coaches, players, watching the clock stop and start, awareness of game flow, what defense is each team playing, what offense are they running, what plays are they running....those are the kind of things that keep a high level game running smoothly, not just whistling fouls and violations.
By the way..these are all things I'm still working on..
