Mine too. If they want to pay $20 to $25 for a game and want me to work 4 games, I'm pacing myself. Period. And nobody cares.

From an assignor's standpoint, I'd damnwell better not be getting any complaints about you pacing yourself either. If you can keep the game under control and call it uniformly at both ends, then you've done your job...and done it well also imo.

And with these rec league tournaments, about 98.83% of the time that a game does get out of control, it's NOT the officials' fault anyway.

There's a real world out there.
