How soon do you arrive?
How early do you arrive for a game? I always try for an hour, which allows for anything unusual to happen.
If I'm running "late" (i.e., without leeway) I'll call my partner and tell him that I will be l cutting it close. Lately, the response is, but the game isn't till 5:45? Rita

It depends on your supervisor and the level you are working. HS Var. Boys, most of the local supervisors what the varsity officials (at least 1 if not all 3) at the site prior to the start of the JV game. That's just in case 1 of the JV guys doesn't show.
for lower level 45/30 minutes prior to the game. (The earlier the better) For NCAA ball, 1.5 hours prior to the game. Early is good. Bottom line, what does your supervisor want and how much time do you need to get physically and mentally ready to work the game.

I think the the above requirement (in red) is excessive. It puts a person there almost 2 hours before game time. I don't think an official should be required to be there for two games unless they're getting paid for two games.

NCAA Men's and Women's: CCA Manual says at least 1-1/2 hours.
NFHS: At least one hour. For JrHS games personally arrive at the game at least 45 minutes before. (The IAABO Manual is the same as the NFHS Manual.) FIBA: At least one hour. MTD, Sr.

For sub varsity, we try to arrive at the game site 30-45 minutes before game time.
Varsity officials usually show up before the JV game which is nice since they usually watch the first half of the game. At the latest, you'll see officials arrive at halftime of the JV game.

All varsity games an hour if I am by myself. Sometimes I try to get there earlier if I can, but that depends on many other circumstances.
Lower level games 30 minutes. College games, and hour and a half at the very least, if not earlier. Peace

30 minutes for high school. But in the area that I work, people often have to leave work early do to the JV/V double header. With that it mind, it is permissible to be less than 30 minutes early. Generally, if you're going to be 25-30 minutes early, no problem, but something around 15-20 minutes, your P must know ahead of time - and it shan't be a regular occurance. Less than 15 is a no-no. However, we're short of officials, and good officials, so when it comes down to having people at the game or not. . .
All-star tournaments on the weekend are different again. There is SO MUCH basketball, that it's not uncommon for officials to drive between sites with little break between games. Here, the expectation to arrive 30 minutes early is lifted, but otherwise 30 minutes is appreciated, but many guys arrive 15 minutes early. College is 90+ minutes. Contrary to MTD's approach, the ruleset doesn't dictate how early we are: but rather the type of game does. Obviously college demands a more intense pre-game than 10 year olds, even if they're their city's all-star players. On a side note, there's no way in hell I would arive before the JV, just in case one of the JV guys didn't show, and not get paid for that extra time. That's one of the most silliest things I've read.

We target 6:30 for 7:30 varsity games. Frequently we arrive between 6:15 and 6:30. We usually watch the third quarter of the JV game and then get dressed. Although I liked last night -- we went to the locker room at halftime, had a nice pregame, and didn't bother coming back out until we were needed for warmups.

Be early enough so that if you're late, you're on time.
