How many in a day?
I thought an interesting follow-up to my thread about how many games did you work this past year might be: what is the most you've ever worked in one day?
A few years ago on a Saturday, I was scheduled for three local kids MS rec games in the morning (starting at 8:15, which is standard for us) but one of our guys had to cancel at the last minute and I stayed to work his shift (another three). All six of those games were 8th grade boys at a middle school. I then had a MS tourney that evening and I worked four games starting at 6:00 including one semi-final and the championship game, which started at 9:45. I got home a little after 11:00. So, in about 15 hours, I worked ten games, the last four on a standard HS court with only a few minutes between games. This calendar year, the most games I worked in one day was seven. Fortunately, my pharmacy is open on Sundays.

For basketball, my record is six ( 4 MS, a JGV and a GV)
Soccer's record is eight. Did a tournament in Steamboat Springs about three years ago in 85 degree heat. Started games at 8AM, was supposed to do 4, get a break, then do 2 more. Other ref never showed...... I was a spent puppy that day.

Most in a year: don't know
Most in a day: 11 I did have two one game breaks on this day. There was another day where I called 10. Started at 9 am. 5 minute halftimes. 5 minutes between games. A half hour break at noon. Other than that, we were playing. Finished up about 10:30 pm. I don't recommend either of these formats.

I did 9 on Saturday and 8 on Sunday for a 17 game two day total a couple of years ago...the last couple of games it was hard to get stopped while moving and even harder to get moving after you stopped. It reminded me of the feeling I had 30 years ago when I did my 50 mile hike for scouting - we were dropped off 50 miles out of town on a Friday evening and walked until late Saturday night. Somewhere along the way I lost the dehydrated peaches we were saving for the end of the hike, unfortunately I didn't lose any of the heavy stuff in my pack.

9 kids games with a 3 hour break in the middle. I did work 5 high school games in one day (GJV, BJV, GV, BJV (ref didn't show up), BV)...all 5 games on a rubber or tile floor! OUCH!
Today I usually only work 3 games during tournaments in the summer each day...getting too old!
