I will work a tournament almost every weekend this summer. There is not a single one that doesn't schedule 3 man rotations (plate, bases, off). Typically 10 to 12, maybe 14 games (depends on whether you work semi's or finals or leave early on Sunday).

Note to jmaellis: you said that you drank a lot of water. You need to know that you also lose needed chemicals (sodium and potassium). Losing too much, especially potassium, can create major health issues by the end of the day. Those must be replaced.

Many recommend sports drinks; however it requires a gallon of a sports drink to supply the sodium and potassium that an 8 oz cup of V8 or tomato juice will provide. OJ and banannas are good potassium suppliers; try pretzels or other salty snack foods for sodium replacement.

Welcome to the ranks.
