How good can any official be working 8-10 games in one day? Aren't there any other officials around to work any of these games?

Apparently not. Our rec league has a massive schedule this Saturday because our HS level games, which are usually played on weeknights, couldn't be this past week for some reason and got moved to Saturday so we have those plus our regular 3-8 grade games all on the same day. This is the only time I can remember that happening. All the officials on our list are working extra games that day. I also happen to be working for two other rec groups that same day. Usually I have about four or, at the most, six games on a Saturday, but more than four is pretty rare.

To answer your question of how good can any official be working 8-10 games in one day, the answer is: if it's me - then really good.

Really good? Does that mean you can walk and not crawl during games 9 and 10?

I use a Segway, like Paul Blart.

You could probably do 20-25 games in a day.

Yeah, but I want to see him give the "jump ball" or "three-points" signal. Puts him right on his a$$!
