I should qualify that the tournaments I speak of are two days only. And weekend only. So that does affect being able to do more per day since it's only two days.
I don't do the 4-5 day tourns bc I don't want to burn vacation time to work a 2nd job. Lot of TD's around here demand full availability so I have found that it is easier to have no availability at all than fight that fight.
And yes, I think the profession/avocation of officiating is getting older. At 37 and having 12 years in, I'm one of the youngest guys in our group of officials. We def need some new blood bc there is that mentality "if you schedule it, they will come"
