Our season started November 9th. I had about 30 games by the end of December and have 20 more so far in January. Probably 80% will be V & the rest JV & a couple MS. I work 2 assns and travel more. I also live in an area with few schools and about 8 officials, so many guys who do not want to travel turn back games.

2010
First 7 weeks: 25 V and 2 JV (11/15 - 12/31)
Week 8: 5 V and 1 JV
Week 9: 4 V
Total: 34 V and 3 JV games

2009
First 9 weeks: 36 V games

Usually don't get JV games but we have a couple of privates without a girls team this year, so I've had 3 BJV/BV doubleheaders.

I usually work around 50-55 varsity contests during the year.

My local chapter took a big hit in school districts moving to other chapters. I'm taking the year off for several reasons, but from what I'm hearing the schedules are about half of what they were last year -- at least varsity wise. I don't know if guys are making some up by working more subvarsity. Hopefully they are, to get the games covered and help out newer officials. I also worry about retention. For those folks that want to return, did they get enough games to make it worthwhile for them? My first year I worked something like 60 or 70 games and I wasn't satisfied. Now, only a few work more than half that.

Unhappy with your association? Changes by the state association? What caused the exodus?

My season didn't start until November 26 and I always have a work conference that takes me out of town the first week of December. I've worked 17 varsity HS games and 2 juco games since then.

I am scheduled for 47 varsity games and 4 juco games for the entire season. Last year I worked exactly 50 games, including the playoffs. That's enough for me.

We only work 1 game a night.
