Well Rob, my first HS game isn't until Tuesday when I work with you, so I know you'll carry me through.

I've done private schools last two weeks, tonight I'm doing a Varsity boys. I got butterflies too. It's funny, I've done boys in the spring, summer and fall HS. It's just not the same. It means something tonight

My first too!

Tonight is my first game of the season also. The game is between two schools that I've never had before and working with a new partner also. He's a veteran official...I've just never worked with him before. I'm looking forward to the season getting started.

Good luck to everyone that has a game tonight!

Where are all of you located? As of this weekend, I will have called about 80 games, including 16 Varsity Games (12 Girls, 4 Boys). I guess I am surprised at how late you all are getting started.

In my region of the world:

Fall: middle school girls, games usually start around 3:30 (can't do b/c of j.o.b.)

Boys middle schools/Private HS's: start towards the end of November, same time as public HS school scrimmages

Public HS's: regular season starts today, Dec. 1st.

The pay is OK. I will call about 200 games by the end of the season. Maybe a little more, maybe a few less. I am averaging about 220 games per season over the past 2 years. I like the extra money (NO DOUBT), but I REALLY enjoy being on the floor calling games.

Here in Texas girls start the first week of November, boy start a week later. I will run HS game until the end of February.

Had 7 holiday tourney games last week.

First regular season games were Mon, Tue, Thurs of this week...had to cover the freshman game on Tue and Thur...tournament game tonight, 2 more tomorrow.

That adds up to 15 games already...WOW! No wonder I'm sore.

I have 8 more games next week between 3 nights of HS and 2 nights of MS ball.

Most games in ONE week was 22. JH - 8 games, Sub-Var. - 8 games, and Varsity - 6 games. LONG week. Of course there was the 16 games in FOUR days at a college camp I went to once. Now, THAT was fun.

I had my first V girl/boy double header Tuesday night. Before that I had a week of JV/V girls that was less than exciting. Tuesday night was a blast though. Both games were decided with less than a minute to go. Coaches and players did a great job of listening. Besides no hot water in the lockeroom afterwards, it was a great night out. Hopefully tonight will be the same. We have 2 pretty decent 3A schools.

How is that even possible?

You must be doing 3 or 4 games a night. Plus a bunch on Sat.
