I didn't read the article. Is there a change to the tax code this year?
This is the logic I've always used to deduct mileage to/from game sites using the 2010 IRS publications:
Publication 463
Quote:
Office in the home.
If you have an office in your home that qualifies as a principal place of business, you can deduct your daily transportation costs between your home and another work location in the same trade or business. (See Publication 587, Business Use of Your Home, for information on determining if your home office qualifies as a principal place of business.)

Publication 587
Quote:
Your home office will qualify as your principal place of business if you meet the following requirements.
· You use it exclusively and regularly for administrative or management activities of your trade or business.
· You have no other fixed location where you conduct substantial administrative or management activities of your trade or business.

Also, Examples 1 and 2 that begin at the bottom of page 4 would seem to apply to officials.
