Most games?
 

A few days ago, a friend asked me what was the most number of games I ever worked in a single day. I did a little schedule research and found that two years ago, I worked nine kids rec games in a single day (all boys). I started with four straight 6th grade seven-minute quarter games beginning at 8:15 am, had a lunch break, worked three middle school 10 minute running quarter games for another league in the afternoon and finished up with two 20 minute running half games for a varsity level tournament that night. I got home after 11:00 pm.

This was on a Saturday. The next day, I slept pretty much all day.

What was your busiest day?

BTW - if I remember correctly (and there's certainly no precedence for that), I gave out a total of 10 Ts that day - averaging over one per game. That's well below my average. I must have been really tired. :p

long day
 

Doesn't count - they run slow. :D

11 games in 1 day.

30 games in 1 week.

14 games in one day. this was about 4 yrs ago but it was unbelievable and what's worse is that I was 17 or 18 at the time and the other guy had to work 14 as well and he was in his early 50s. I gave him major props.

went up to Las Vegas with some friends a few years ago. Called a tournament director who was running a HS girls tourney, he put me in touch with the assignor (of course we were strangers to each other), who told me he'd get me 4 or 5 games to work. The day before I got up there he called and gave me a total of 32 games in 5 days... day three was 12 games, but one was a forfeit... so 11 is my record. AAU 16-18u girls, and part of the boys adidas big time tourney that the referee camp didn't cover. :eek:

longest day
 

tru dat, but it still hurt like hell

I think my most in a single day has been five games, which has happened a few times (all have been either intramurals or AAU/rec ball).

The worst was when I had spent the early afternoon doing scorebook for two back-to-back college league tourney games, then spent the evening reffing five IM games. Physically, I was fine. Mentally, I was so out of shape that there were times I had no idea what I was calling. Never will I do that again.

I worked 14 Varsity boys games in a day. Called at least one technical in every game, and threw out 2 coaches and 4 players. Goodtimes, but never again.

How long were these games that you could get in 14 of them in one day? At 90 minutes each, 14 games would take 21 hours!

14 games?
 

fourteen varsity games?.when did you start,at 5 a.m.?:cool:

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

first game started at 9, modified clock, dont remebmer exactly how it was, but games generally ran on the hour, makes the last one start at 9 right? didnt get outta there till midnight

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.

hey tell my bleeding ankles that!!!! had a new pair of shoes that rubbed a blister and soaked my socks
