Had a 7th grade girls game early this afternoon. My partner asked me how many games I was going to work over the President's Day holiday. I told him. Then he told me he has 27 games in the three days plus 4 on the previous Friday night. That's 31 games in four days, an average of just under 8 games a day. He's a younger guy, I would guess in his early 20s. He said he usually works all seven days each week during the season for at least four different assignors. All his games are rec games. Man - I even think that's a lot.
