Distance travel for games

[swvaref]

Hey guys I was just wondering how far you have to travel to your games. The farthest I have to travel is up to 2 ( yes 2) hours one way to 3 schools that our association officates, from my house. Blocking those schools is not an option for us I usually get those games on a weeknight and dont get into bed until well after midnight

Our association covers 1 school that is about that distance. Most of their home games are on Friday Night/Saturday day, so you go there on Friday, stay the night, and then work Saturday. Usually do 1 JV game and then 2 V games (boys and girls) on each day.

the longest I've travelled is 1 hour I think, but that is with bus. With car, max 30 minutes, hardly even that. I live outside the second largest city in sweden (wich compared to some of the us citys is nothing, 750 000 inhabitants I think) so I get all my games around here, most of the for the local club and that's 15 minutes drive/30 minutes with bus so I never have to travel far.

HS, max is 40 minutes. It's not even that far. It's just in a tough place to get to. NCAA, max is about 3.5 hours drive.

For High school games, I have traveled from 4-1/2 minutes to 4-1/2 hours.
Travel pay is $ 0.25/ mile.

Furthest high school is 75 miles from local area. 2-man crew gets $20 ($10/person) and passenger customerily pays driver $10 up front.

JuCo, my closest school is 2 1/2 hours away, with most 3-4 hours away. No travel pay.

That NCAA one may change......

High School - I think my furthest last year was 55 miles one way from the house.

We do not get travel pay for reg season games in Ohio so if you dont want to drive - dont work for that assignor.

For me in Cincinnati, the normal drive is 15-30 from the office and then 15-30ish to the post game location (home or local brown pop establishment)

3.5 hrs? That's like from where you live to Fort Ticonderoga, right? Any chance you'll get to Chattanooga, Tennessee? I hear there's a small bar & grill there, if you want to stop for a short one.

Somewhat depends. If I'm doing the solo act, I usually try and keep it within an hour. But, if I'm lucky enough to be traveling with someone... I'll pack my bag (uhh, M&M would probably say I just need to pack the rest of my gear bag ) for where ever.
