I had a game tonight. I will have a game tomorrow. I will have 8 games from December 26-29 in a X-Mas Tournament I have been working for the last few years. I do not get much rest until after the New Year. Then that is only a few day and I am right back to normal.

Peace

High School tourney next week, 27th & 29th. College schedule kicks back in on 1/3 & 1/4 in the great year of 2008.

I really enjoy this forum if I haven't said it lately. Thanks & Happy Holidays to all!

Did a Girls frosh/Jv DH last night. My partner,1st year official,busted out that one on them. He thought it was hilarious, the girls stared at him with the deer look and I got to laugh ,inside, cause nobody else laughed.

My last game is this Saturday & we don't go again until 1/4/08. I was just getting into it... I guess it's back to the ol' youth & wreck ball circuit :mad:

What do you guys/gals do to keep sharp during the break?

Last games here were Wednesday (19th), nothing else until the 4th. I'm missing out on that weekend as we'll be out of town for two weeks visiting my folks in Iowa. I don't work again until Jan. 10th. Then I'll have two more games before my other part time job sends me off to Atlanta for a week and a half. Our schedule currently only goes through the 24th of January, I have no idea how much I'll work after I get back (not sure how much my assigner will appreciate me losing out on a week and a half in January).

Varsity game tomorrow night - Wreck league on Sunday - Back in action on Dec 27, 28, 29 for Varsity games - Then normal operations again on Jan 4

I have a game this afternoon, then I'm off until January 2. There are holiday tournaments next week, but those are primarily varsity only, so I don't have any of those yet. A few tournaments will have JV tournaments in conjunction, but I'm not scheduled for any of those games. And AFAIK, there are no JH or youth league games between the holidays. So it will be ten off days for me. :mad:

Where are you working in Illinois?

Mountaineer Sat Dec 22, 2007 08:23pm

Well it's Saturday and I worked last night - next game is Thursday, 27th. My knees will enjoy the time off - I actually turned down a game for tonight and one for the 26th in order to have the rest & relax time.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Jacobs in Algonquin. We do a game or two in that general area every holiday, although normally we do a Friday night/hotel/Saturday morning.
