Pre-game meeting with the coaches...
"Good afternoon coaches! My partner is not here so I'll be officiating this one all by myself. If we have any other absences, such as the scorebook or the clock operator, I would be more than happy to fill those positions as well. In case of one of you being ejected, I'm sure that I can become ignorant to all the rules and yell at myself as needed. Thanks, lets have a great game!"
I could see doing a 1-man crew for a junior high game but any other game would be pretty much impossible. Who is going to ask the players who touched it last, seriously? I would be embarrassed to ask such a thing from a player. Maybe that's just me and my stinking pride getting in the way though. Interesting article wanja
