In our association (and this may be WA State driven) we can only do a team three times in their gym per year (at the varsity level).

Shoot, I'm doing one team's first 3 games this season. Just confirmed it was that team's first 3 games b/c I work 2 rows over from one of the parents.

Generally, where I have been, 3 home games per team is the max. But, with fill-ins, etc, you could see more of a particular team. I had a team for 4 home games and 1 road game last year. That is unusual. My last season in VT, I had a team 4 times at home [90 miles away] and once on the road [13 miles away].

In our local kids rec league, if we have a "problem coach", I get assigned to all his (or her) games. Either the problem stops quickly, or the coach gets to spend all their game time at home watching Brady Bunch reruns.

I'll give you ten to one BillyMac has no problem finding a pic file for this.

Too easy. No challenge.

In Kentucky, coaches are sent a rating sheet before the season and they pick the officials they would like on their games, so if you are rated high by that team, you could have them a bunch, but if your liked by a lot of coaches then you usually get spread around and it's not a problem. Not really a set number, would like to see one though. I would think 4 or 5 times in a year would be a nice MAX. That would be about once a month. Then tournaments wouldn't count of course!

A few years back when I was working in Des Moines, I had a boys sophomore team three games in a row. Road, Home, Road.
First game, they stole the tip and I didn't catch it.
Second game, I caught it.
Third game, they didn't do it. But I did get to officiate my first fight in that third game.

Third time's the charm.

But not always a GOOD luck charm.

Wasn't for me; got the FTs wrong in that one. I was at least happy we charged the right players, though (verified by my assigner with the help of video later.)
