Around here (northern Ohio) Girls play Wednesday/Saturday and Boys play Tuesday/Friday.(with exceptions but always separately) At most the schedule will be FR/JV/V. Varsity officials NEVER do more than one game. Some assignors will give the FR/JV officials the double header. Some conferences do have Freshman games on a different day and have B/G doubleheaders.

We have conference assignors, not booking agents (not that I know what that really means anyway). We have so many officials that you do not need to hire one crew to work multiple games, at least not at the HS level. Not if you want your staff to get experience or work with different people. Of course some lower level games are doubleheaders like a Freshman A and B game night on like a Monday. But when you work on varsity nights, all officials usually work one game. And honestly that is the way it should be. It is better for the officials and the kids if you ask me.

Peace

In VT, our assignors did not want to have us perceived as JV officials, so we only worked those types of games if we weren't going to see the V teams at all that season. For example, I worked some DI girls' games, but none at the DI boys' level. So, I might do a handful of games in a gym where I would not be seen by DI girls' coaches on a JVB game.

Here in FL, we may or may not have DHs. I had 2 this week and one last week. But, I had probably a half dozen by this point in time last season.

It may be an effort to make sure everybody is working, too. Complaints about not getting many games are not like complaints about not getting any DHs. Neither is good, but the second complaint might indicate that the monetary angle is more important than it should be.
