And that explains the difference....do 1 game assignments and your income drops but the mileage doesn't and you get into the break-even or loss range if you have a few extra expenses. The only common doubles we do are JH games and we don't get $90 for the pair, more like $65.

I have typically made some money in most years but have lost in a few when I've bought uniform stuff AND gone to camps.

That makes sense. I was wondering how I could even be close to it but If I cut income nearly in half I can see the possibility.

I'm in the same boat as Jeremy (And the same state). We nearly always work two games a night and I always show a pretty good profit. Once I whittle it down with mileage, uniforms, etc it is less sizeable, but I have shown a profit every year I have officiated.
