214 baseball and basketball combined. Does not count camp games. No more than a handful at less than HS level.

About 150 basketball, 50 baseball if that. Basketball wins over baseball given the choice.
70% of my games are high school- the rest are competitive club games.

BGV double-header last night finished out 2010 for me. 322 basketball games, from juco down to jh with a dozen or so at the 5th/6th grade level. This includes summer camps, pre-season jamborees and the like.

I'm grateful to have the next couple of weeks off for family and the holidays.

About 60 basketball games and maybe 30 baseball games. When I first got into this racket I used to do a few hundred basketball and 70 or 80 baseball in a year. I found that I got burned out and didn't enjoy it as much. The number of games I'm doing now works well for me. I don't do any youth tournaments or travel team type games in either basketball or baseball. Basketball is only school sanctioned games, jr high through varsity high school. Baseball I do virtually nothing but high school games.

Been there. Done that. Thirty years ago I was saving up for my three kids to go to college. Money was an important factor in accepting games. My kids have pretty much finished college, at least the part that I pay for. I now officiate for many reasons, money may not be the most important.

Assuming no schedule changes or adds, I'm set for 222 for 2010.

I don't work a lot by choice. But this upcoming week will be my busiest week of this season. 2 BV tourney games on Monday and Tuesday then a college game on Wednesday and on New Year's Eve. 6 in one week is the most you'll ever catch me working outside of a camp environment.

Well, we're covered in snow. Thinking I'll lose at least my 2 games on Monday.
