A lot of this is, simply, deducting what you feel comfortable with, with your accountant's knowledge of the law in mind.
My understanding is that if you leave from work to go to a game, you can deduct the mileage from your office to the game, and then from the game to your home. If this all makes sense.

For an official who happens to work graveyard shift at his primary job, he could deduct mileage from home to game, then from game to work.
