# of games
My friend was frustrated with the number of games he has gotten this year and it got us talking about the number of games we do over the four months of basketball (Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb)....last year I finished the season with 26 H.S. varsity games and this year at the half way point I am at 14.....curious to hear where others stand....maybe it'll make my friend feel better

So many variables.....
You could have a wide swing here - area of country, number of schools, number of qualified officials, etc.
This was my first yr moving into a mostly V schedule, so my number of games went down a bit. My records reflect: 15 V* 12 JV/F 42 Rec and tourney/mostly weekend games * I lost several games due to snow. I expect to have more V games this yr. Also, as was stated in a previous thread, I could do more sub-V and Rec games if I desire, but I prefer to take the time off/let my body heal and not spend every day out late and away from home.

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.

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.
