If you don't want to run your butt off and risk injury for a competitive tournament game, don't. I'm not suggesting anyone, myself included, should do anything that involves risking injury.

I think this discussion has more or less defined "hustle" for competitive tournament games, tho. And, it would obviously be something less than a Tues/Fri night boys big class varsity game.
Dude, relax. No one is responding to you because it is personal. I am responding to you because I think your point of view is off, completely off to be exact. And I actually would probably hustle more than you to be honest. I used to work a league where they only hired one official and I hustled more than most people here talk about. I just am realistic as to what these games are and I would not be expecting everyone to go balls out for a game they are paid in some cases not a 3rd of what they would make during the regular season.

Peace
