2008 Game count....

[JRutledge]

If you want to start including all sports I work, I probably do not work 100 games in all sports. I know I work less than 20 games during the football season (including playoffs) and I work only about 50-60 basketball games a year (varsity and college) and now 25 Baseball games, I really feel bad now. (NOT!!!!)

And every time I tell people I work three sports they look at me like I am the crazy one. I might work 3 sports, but I certainly do not work what I would call a lot of games. To be fair I do normally work more games during the baseball season, I just decided it was time to cut back a little. But I have not worked 100 baseball games in probably 10 years. And I also do not count basketball games during the summer because you are often working multiple games during a date and many of the games are camp related. In other words I paid to work those games and be evaluated. Those are also not "real" games by any stretch of the imagination.

Plus however many I do at the NCUS. Probably about 6.

So, about 137 for 2008. About 7 less than last year. I was trying to "take it easy" this summer, but wound up with a much bigger spring schedule than I usually do.

Post yours.

High School - 23

"Small" Diamond - 35

Babe Ruth leagues - 12

American Legion - 9

Total - 79

From April 3 to August 22

It's a new "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

Do you all keep these stats yourself, or is there a website you track them on?

If there's not, would you be interested in one? I've been thinking of ways to keep track of my games, and thought I would release my work if there's a demand.

An Excel spreadsheet works well and it's very simple.

I just count them down from Arbiter

I just count them from "Reftown".

Since my baseball schedulers don't use Arbiter, I also use an Excel spreadsheet. Helps me track expenses and income for IRS purposes, and notes which games I have been paid for and which schools are being real slow.
