I won't heap "everyone" into the same category and put a definite # on how many games an official can/should do. The official needs to decide when they believe they can not give the effort required.
Interestingly enough - my limit right now is also four (on a large HS court). MS or ES, maybe one more.
A few months back I did a tourney and was asked to do five. After I drove the 45 minutes or so home and pulled up at my house, getting out of my car was quite a challenge.....sore and stiff...... getting old I guess.
But, it sure beats the alternative.
