Super Saturday
No, this has nothing to do with football. It's just that I got my schedule for this Saturday and I have eight games. Four in a row starting at 8:15 in the morning and four more in a row starting at 3:00 in the afternoon.
At least I have a few hours off to get a full body massage from Bambi. I'm on my way to the pharmacist in a few minutes to refill all my painkillers and buy a pallet of Therma-Care patches. |

Pick up some Viagra for your massage from Bambi.

I too have a tournament coming up with eight games on Saturday...the other official working is a warm body. It's a little church school tournament and usually runs pretty smooth, few problems with fans, sometimes falls behind time-wise...
best part is, it's about a 70 foot floor. four big steps and you're in the front court....tight quarters to be sure...but always a lot of fun. |
Late last night, I was asked if I would pick up two more games late Saturday night. Since I wasn't conscious when I was asked, I said yes. That now makes 10 in one day. At least my wife will be happy that I'll be gone for so long.

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?

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?

The best part is that for six of the games, I get paid at the game. Pay for the other four will be in a check about a week after the games.
