First games of the year...

The running clock is just used to make the length more predictable and make the table's job easier.



No, I decline the games if I feel I can't do them well. The players deserve that. It may be too many in a row or too many in any given time window to be sharp and focused .
I'd NEVER accept 3 varity games in a row (we work 2-man here). I even hesitate to work 2 varsity games in a row. It depends on the intensity I expect in the game. I don't take extra games for the money...EVER.

However, If we did work 3-man, I'd easily do 2 games without having to think about it and possibly 3. The benefits of 3-man certainly include reduced physical exertion.

It's 3-person, not just man!

Depends on the crew. While I seldom work on a three-man crew with a female, I do occassionally work a three-man crew where one of the males definitely ain't a man

Perhaps you should actually look up the definition of man before you get too bent out of shape and break something...

From http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/man

1.	an adult male person, as distinguished from a boy or a woman.

2.	a member of the species Homo sapiens or all the members of this species collectively, without regard to sex: prehistoric man.

3.	the human individual as representing the species, without reference to sex; the human race; humankind: Man hopes for peace, but prepares for war.

4.	a human being; person: to give a man a chance; When the audience smelled the smoke, it was every man for himself.

[ and many more definitions]

As you can see, #2 and #3 clearly support the usage of man as I used it.

Sure - thanks for explaining. =)

well just to clarify...

this is a tournament, with varsity teams from schools in the province.

The games are regulation, 4 8-minute quarters, stop time.

3 is an easy day in this area.

The most I've ever done in one day was 9.

And that was after doing 3 on Friday and having to do 6 more on Sunday.

It's pretty common-place in this area.

Although I'm not looking forward to when we switch to FIBA which plays 4 10-minute quarters
