locally for me it is Silly...we work as much as we want to work in terms of games...I probably wouldn't work 4 games even if I had the opportunity, but that's just me...but I don't think we'd ever do 4 games in a day...whenever we work a 2-man DH here, we're each doing a plate. your way seems practical and I guess if that's how you roll in your area and it works...that's awesome.

If I am just working 2 games, normal schedule, my partner and I will switch up between games. But if it is a tournament schedule (15 min or less between scheduled game times), I am all for back-to-back plates. Heck, I've worked B2B when only scheduled for 2 games! It is the easiest way to keep them on schedule and avoid working past midnight!

More than two games, I am definitely with Pete....I'd much rather change gear only once. Two weeks ago, I was scheduled for 5 games at a tourney. I had the first two with one partner and the last 3 with another. Took the
1st can and when Partner #1 said he wasn't feeling that great, took the 2nd one too. Game runs a bit late and I visit with Partner #2 toward the end of that one and tell him I will keep it on for game #3 as I grab a few Advil out of my back pocket (fans have no idea how sore the feet get when you NEVER sit down during a game).

Game 3 (and third plate) go extra innings and tourney supervisor says rain is heading our way, so guess who does the 4th plate so we can get the game in? You bet, I am a plate wh**e anyway. As a reward for my sacrifice, the baseball gods give me a spread early and we retire to chill for an hour, switch gear, watch a few rain drops, and then come back to do game #5 on time!

New record for me - 4 plates in a row!
