Could have been one of my toughest games ever - but it wasn't

We also use the 1 1/2 game fee rule for games that are worked alone. I'm sure that one reason is to compensate the single official for the "extra work", but I believe that another reason, and possibly the main reason, is to discourage AAU, recreation, CYO, travel programs etc., from requesting only one official to save money. These programs probably figure that it's better to get two officials, doing a real good job for 200% of a game fee, than a single official doing a more difficult job, perhaps not the best job, for 150% of a game fee.
