Lots of fun. Good chance to stay in shape. Earn some bucks.
Yea, I worked 15 instead of 16 last weekend...shoot me.

Ah, I see.
I don't believe he was disbelieving that you worked 8 in 11 --- I believe he disbelieved the rest of your assertions.
Let me just leave it as this... if you truly worked as hard as you say during game 1 and game 15 of this marathon, then you are Superman and I applaud you. The reason you're getting so much disbelief is that most of us have done marathons ourselves ... and MOST of the officials who would bother to spend time on a board like this are not the lazy bumpkins you mentioned in some of this thread - and our experience tells us that you just can't work that hard all the time during a marathon. This is why a few said you need to NOT work that hard at the beginnings - taking some shortcuts that don't negatively affect the game - so that you can be at your best at the end - the games that matter the most.
And again, my apologies for the blatant name-calling. It was uncalled for.
