I'm with Chuck. That's exactly how I'd handle it. I've shown up early for my game and had a guy working solo, and jumped in just to help him out. I asked him how he did it and he just said he told the coaches up front he was going to do the best he could do but not to expect him to see everything, and then he just tried to hustle as best he could.
I wouldn't agree to work in a league with only one official unless the participants were about 10 or under, but if the choice was you do it solo or the kids don't get to play, I'd give it my best shot and turn off the rabbit ears.
