In my area having a full varsity schedule means you work every Friday and Saturday of the season. Depending on whether you do a lot of Boy's or a lot of Girl's games, the night during the week when those games are played the most (That night for boy's games is usually Tuesday) of the season. Of course there are many officials that work college games on Saturday and they are not available to work a HS game. And there are so many officials in the current area I live; assignors do not ask many veterans to work freshman and JV games. There are people that might seek those games, but in one conference I was not allowed to work those games because those games were for the younger officials. And the other assignors never ask or require me or others in similar positions to work those games.
