Don't officiate FED but I concur that many weekday games do start at 1600hrs. Which makes the extended pregame less and less possible unless both umpires are independently wealthy, retired or on the USGOV's dole.

Or they would have to have a very flexible employer and/or very flexible hours.

FYI, I see more JV/Frosh games preceding Varsity...since it is easier to get a JV/Frosh game to completion in 15 minutes.

I don't understand why the JV/Fr games start 15 minutes later. If they were at the same school, I could see ADs thinking that it gives the Var coach a chance to pull a JV player if someone doesn't show. However, a lot of the JV/Var games are played at different schools.
