I thought an interesting follow-up to my thread about how many games did you work this past year might be: what is the most you've ever worked in one day?

A few years ago on a Saturday, I was scheduled for three local kids MS rec games in the morning (starting at 8:15, which is standard for us) but one of our guys had to cancel at the last minute and I stayed to work his shift (another three). All six of those games were 8th grade boys at a middle school. I then had a MS tourney that evening and I worked four games starting at 6:00 including one semi-final and the championship game, which started at 9:45. I got home a little after 11:00. So, in about 15 hours, I worked ten games, the last four on a standard HS court with only a few minutes between games. This calendar year, the most games I worked in one day was seven.

Fortunately, my pharmacy is open on Sundays.
