I really do not have a set time or miles. It really depends on the circumstances and the level. I grew up about 3 hours from where I currently live and I still do games in that area from time to time. I usually do not drive to those locations straight from home, but technically that is over 3 hours for a game. But it is not unusual to drive and hour to an hour and half in the metropolitan area that I live but that is usually based on traffic.

Peace

I ref JuCo games that are usually 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours one way. I do it because the level of play is high and most times there is at least one D1 official on the crew.

Additionally once or twice a year the supervisor (a veteran Final Four official) shows up at one of my games and completely tears my game apart making the drive home completely miserable with me contemplating resigning from officiating. Definitely helps to keep my ego in check.
