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.

Misleading Title ???
Lets' see? When I was married, about two, or three times a day. Wait? I'm being told by the control room that the question refers to basketball games. Nevermind.

BB - 12 in one day - 20 for two day total. NOT BY CHOICE!!
MS - 7th and 8th tourny. 20 minute running clock - stop clock last 2 minutes each half with a 5 minute halftime. We had a bad snowstorm and 4 officials ended up in accident. (fortunately no serious injuries but they never made it) We had to cover our games and theirs. I didn't think I would get up on Sunday morning. Monday was pain in every part of my body every time I took a step. Tuesday wasn't bad though.

The only good thing about that weekend was that we were paid in cash and didn't have to wait a month to straighten out the checks.
