I think the most I have ever worked was 9. I did this about 10+ years ago when I did not know any better. I learned quickly not to do that again.

Peace

Modified clock?!?!?!?! If the games ran on the hour, they were probably about 2/3 the time of a regular game. That means your 14 games were the equivalent of about 9 1/3 regular games. Not a full 14, but still a lot. I hope you had meal breaks and bio breaks.

When someone says you need to "break in" a new pair of shoes, you seemed to take that literally.

10 games for adult rec league tourney. 20 min/halves - running clock. This was during my first year and only my second time at 3-man. Talk about baptism by fire.

Most I ever did was 9 in one day. Opening weekend of CYO season, all 8th & 9th grade "A" level teams on the main court at VCHS. Best part was the new assigner for CYO forgot to assign me a partner, so I worked them all solo. It was the worst of a number of assigning errors that season, and that was the last season I worked for CYO......

Nine solo in one day! You definitely win the "Earl Strom Ironman" award. BTW - is "VCHS" Valley Catholic? No particular reason for asking, just curious.

Our local association had an officials clinic to coincide with a Varsity Boys camp at a local university. Unfortunately several of the officials did not show up and we ended up doing 9 games with running 20 min halves. Clock only stopped in the last minute of each half.
BTW we actually paid for this privilage. We eventually were given credit for our dues paid for the year. But we were never given any instruction or evaluation as the staff had to work also.
