I must clarify that in the larger areas usually there we do not work doubleheaders on varsity nights, meaning a JV/Sophomore prelim game with a Varsity contest is almost always a single contest. There are some of the smaller areas or rural areas that where there are not assignors for those games, you can see the same official work both games. That is becoming more and more rare, but schools do not put in the same effort to make that happen as an assignor would. Also if you work a double header you do not get paid two separate game fees for the most part. Usually the fee for the doubleheader is not the same as if you worked two separate games at a particular level. That does not make a lot of people around here (meaning my state ) happy.

Varsity games are always played girls/boys double header with 3 officials. Occasionally 1 of the JV refs is a varsity ref and works the 2 Varsity games as well as the single JV game.

...just outside of Atlanta, and we usually have GJV/BJV DH, then the G/B varsity doubleheader, all on the same court.

Is that where that song Midnight Train to Georgia came from?

crew of 2 for sub varsity, usually a dbl header, and a crew of 3 for girls and boys varsity. Some of the leagues have commisioners and they assign and some of the schools you have to call them and ask if they have any games available. Some leagues know their schedule of who is doing the varsity games 2 years out.

Sapper, what part of KS?

The vast majority of our assignments are 2-person. 99.9 percent of the assignments are two-game nights, sometimes three games like tomorrow night. Most of the time the three gamers are small schools where they will play a JV game of some sort followed by GV and BV.

We have one assignor and one large association that books every game except for when schools want to book their own tournaments, and there are only a few of those throughout the year.

I was lucky enough to get a new assignor this yr and now I know about 2 months out for "some of my games."! And for that, I feel fortunate!!
