Sadly, more and more, this seems to be the norm with tournaments. I have worked as many as 8 games in one day without a break. (I have never worked for either that TD or that UIC again) I sincerely believe that no more than four games in a day should be officiated by one official. I would like to see more TD's and UIC's developing "morning" and "evening" crews to assure better officiating. But, with the numbers not being there I don't see it happening anywhere in the near future.
