The shortened season only meant less games worked. Unlike the players having to at times play three games in three nights, officials' schedules weren't altered in that manner.
And it is normal practice to have two crew chiefs work together on the same crew during the regular season (of course, only one is designated as such for that particular game). With the shortened season, the amount of crews with at least two crew chiefs on it was less than a normal season. If averaged out, it stayed pretty much on the same scheduling as other seasons.
Season 2010-2011, 258 instances occurred (highest amount was found with Scott Foster with 26 games working with another crew chief mostly betwen Michael Smith and Tony Brothers).
For this last season, a total of 217 instances occurred (highest was found with 21 for Bill Kennedy, split pretty evenly amongst Gary Zielinski and Rodney Mott).
